RFQt Erosion Control Installation

The City of Fort Worth is soliciting quotes under RFQt for as-needed erosion control installation for its Transportation & Public Works Department, with quotes due November 12, 2026 through the Euna Portal. The solicitation is subject to the City's Small Business Program under Ordinance No. 27832-08-2025, and bidders must submit a Small Business Enterprise Certificate if applicable.

The scope is labor and installation of erosion control products, including erosion blankets in straw, straw-coconut, and coconut configurations with varying protection periods, turf mats for high and extreme velocity conditions, and silt fence. The City's Stormwater Operations Division supplies all materials and design specifications, and the City completes ground preparation. The contractor provides tools, labor, and personal protective equipment, conducts a pre-job meeting at each project site before installation, and makes any repairs needed to pass the City's final inspection at no additional cost. Required insurance includes workers' compensation, $1,000,000/$2,000,000 commercial general liability, and $1,000,000 auto liability, with the City named as additional insured. Vendors must also file a Form W-9 and a Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176 Conflict of Interest Questionnaire.

The initial term is one year, with up to four additional one-year renewals on the same terms, contingent on 90 days' advance notice of non-renewal. Pricing is firm for the term and must include freight and delivery. Price adjustments are allowed only at renewal, on written request submitted at least 90 days before the requested effective date with documented proof of cost increases. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the City may make multiple awards. Evaluation considers unit and total price, terms and discounts, delivery date, past experience and performance, and vendor responsibility. The City may reject bids from vendors with a history of improper performance or late completion on similar agreements. Required submissions are RFQt-01 Forms, Bid Table BT-08VX, lead time estimates, and a Small Business Enterprise Certificate if applicable. Quotes remain open for acceptance for 90 days after opening. Payment is Net 30 after delivery and acceptance, and successful bidders must register for direct deposit before performing work.
