Replace Vehicle Lifts at TSTC Waco Automotive Technology

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) Waco is requesting proposals for replacement of vehicle lifts at the Kultgen Automotive Center under RFP #57, with proposals due November 12, 2026 and an optional site walk on November 3 at 2:00 p.m. CT.

The scope consists of three phases: deinstallation of 12 existing two-post lifts, procurement and installation of 13 new Challenger CL10AV3 2-post above-ground automotive lifts, and relocation and reinstallation of one 4-post lift and one 2-post lift to alternate bays. All work must comply with manufacturer specifications and industry safety standards. Proposals must provide complete itemized pricing for all three phases as a turnkey project, including labor, tools, equipment, materials, shipping and freight, disposal, concrete patching, utility connections, installation, testing, and operator training. The supplier must identify manufacturer equipment warranties and provide a minimum one-year labor and installation warranty.

TSTC's preferred project performance window is December 21 through January 10 (student winter break), though alternative schedules will be considered based on lift availability and lead time.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: Pricing (50 points), Project Approach (30 points), and Lead Time & Project Timeline (20 points). All proposals must be submitted exclusively through TSTC's Strategic Sourcing portal at https://texas-state-technical-college.public-portal.us.workdayspend.com/; email submissions will not be accepted. Vendors must register on the portal in advance. Technical questions should be posted to the event's Q&A Board within the portal. For assistance with portal access or registration, contact the Strategic Sourcing department at solicitations@tstc.edu prior to the submission deadline.
