Tire Leasing for Citibus

The City of Lubbock, Texas, through its Citibus transit system, is seeking proposals from contractors to provide tire leasing services for its fleet of 74 transit buses. The selected contractor will be responsible for delivering, installing, and maintaining the tires, including labor, materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, and supervision. The City has outlined three different performance specification variations for offerors to bid on, including options with and without tire position requirements, tread depth reporting, and damage penalties. The evaluation criteria will be based 50% on cost per mile, 25% on demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the project, and 25% on the offeror's record of performance. Proposals are due by October 16, 2024, prior to 3:00 P.M., and the contract will be for an initial one-year term with four one-year renewal options.

The City will not discriminate against Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) or Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) in the evaluation and award of the contract. Offerors must comply with the applicable DBE and HUB requirements. The City reserves the right to award the contract to the proposal that best meets their needs, quality levels, and budget constraints, but no specific incumbent vendors or budget ranges have been provided.
