RFP Kennel Doors

The City of Fort Worth is requesting proposals for the one-time purchase, delivery, and installation of kennel doors at the Chuck and Silcox Animal Care and Adoption Center, with proposals due August 20, 2026. A mandatory 30% Small Business participation goal requires at least 30% of the total awarded contract value to be subcontracted or spent with certified Small Business Firms.

The scope involves removal of existing doors, on-site measurement verification, delivery and installation of new kennel doors, and disposal of removed materials. Kennel doors must be constructed of stainless steel or composite materials, measuring approximately 48 inches wide by 72 inches high, with a top half of clear tempered glass and a bottom half of solid opaque material. Required features include reversible hinges, one-hand operable sliding latches, and horizontal airflow slots at the top glass portion only. All doors must be new, unused, and free of defects. Delivery and installation must be completed within 30 to 45 calendar days of Purchase Order issuance, with a maximum timeframe of 90 calendar days accepted. The vendor must provide a standard manufacturer's warranty on materials and a one-year warranty on installation and workmanship.

Proposals are evaluated on best value across six criteria: cost (5 points), Small Business Participation (25 points), Technical Specifications and Compliance (30 points), Vendor Qualifications and Experience (15 points), Delivery and Installation Schedule and Logistics (15 points), and Warranty and Product Support (10 points). Proposers must submit all-inclusive pricing through Bid Table BT-12MN covering labor, materials, hardware, transportation, and installation, along with a Small Business Utilization form and current Small Business Certification. A pre-proposal meeting and site tour will be scheduled, with details posted on Bonfire.
