RFQt Saw Blades

The City of Fort Worth's Transportation and Public Works Department is seeking bids for an "as-needed" Agreement for Saw Blades through Request for Quotation (RFQt) No. 26-0008, specifically targeting diamond-tipped concrete saw blades in 14" dimensions with .125" x 1" specifications. The procurement focuses on providing saw blades with a preference for Husqvarna brand products, with vendors required to deliver blades within 10 business days of ordering and prohibited from delivering on City-observed holidays. Evaluation criteria will include unit price, total quote price, terms and discounts, delivery date, testing sample results, vendor's past performance, and estimated maintenance costs. The solicitation was posted on October 29, 2025, with an amended bid close date of November 14, 2025. Vendors must submit electronic quotes through the Euna Portal and are expected to meet or exceed the City's detailed specifications, with the City retaining the right to accept or reject quotes in part or whole. The initial contract term is one year, with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods.

The procurement is subject to the City's Small Business Program (Ordinance No. 27832-08-2025), which suggests potential set-aside or preferential considerations for small businesses. Successful bidders must register for direct deposit payments and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation (minimum $100,000 per accident), Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and Auto Liability Insurance ($1,000,000 Combined Single Limit). The solicitation includes non-discrimination provisions and compliance requirements with Texas state regulations, including prohibitions on boycotting specific industries. Payment terms are set at Net 30 Days, with invoices to be submitted electronically. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the document indicates that quantities are estimates based on previous usage, and the City is only obligated to pay for materials and services actually ordered and accepted. The City reserves the right to make multiple awards and may allow other governmental entities to potentially participate in the contract under the same terms, conditions, specifications, and pricing.
