Purchase of PLUMBING EQUIPMENT, FIXTURES, AND SUPPLIES - *217518

The City of Dallas is soliciting competitive bids for the purchase of plumbing equipment, fixtures, and supplies through an informal solicitation process, with delivery required to 10011 Log Cabin Road, Dallas, Texas 75253. Bids must be submitted online via the Bonfire procurement portal at https://dallascityhall.bonfirehub.com/login, with a deadline of May 14, 2026 for quote submission. All products procured must be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with no alternatives or substitutes permitted; products failing to meet these specifications will be rejected and returned at the vendor's expense. Bidders are required to include all freight and delivery costs in their pricing on an FOB delivery site basis, as the City will not absorb transportation expenses. The City will award contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor(s) based on submitted quotes, with all prices remaining firm for acceptance within thirty days of submission unless modified by written vendor agreement. Successful vendors must provide a one-year unconditional warranty on all goods, maintain appropriate insurance coverage if work is performed on City property, and be prepared to defend and indemnify the City against claims arising from breach of warranty or vendor fault.

The solicitation carries no apparent set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises based on the available documentation. Vendors must comply with the City of Dallas Conflict of Interest Policy, requiring completion and submission of a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Form CIQ) to the City's records administrator no later than the seventh business day after becoming aware of any disclosure obligations, with failure to comply potentially rendering vendors ineligible for contract consideration. Vendors with outstanding unpaid liabilities to the City, including property taxes, license fees, or utilities, may be deemed non-responsible and excluded from award consideration. The City is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes, and vendors should not include these taxes in their quotes. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation documents, and no incumbent vendor information or specialized technology integration requirements are detailed in the available materials.
