All products must be new, unused, and of first quality from well-known manufacturers.

Vendors must furnish, deliver, and transport the products to HPW West Houston Center at 13211 West Houston Center Boulevard, Houston, Texas, within ten calendar days of purchase order receipt, during business hours Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Pricing is FOB Destination with freight prepaid, and the vendor retains title until delivery and acceptance. The City has ten business days to inspect and accept deliveries, and the vendor pays shipping for replacements of items that fail inspection or are defective during the warranty period.
