City of Lubbock, TX Purchasing and Contract Management ITB 21-15860-KM Tires for Citibus Specifications IWNI01aI The City of Lubbock seeks bids to select vendor(s) to provide Tires for Citibus. The City may select multiple vendors to provide the services desired, if multiple awards are determined to be in the best interest of Citibus. ALL TIRES SUPPLIED Tires will be new tires; no recaps allowed and be "regrooveable" in type. ALL TIRES MUST BE STEEL BELTED AND STEEL SIDEWALLS TIRE SUPPLY If at any time the bidder cannot supply tires in a timely manner, (verifiable 14-day lead time) Citibus can purchase tires without penalty. BILLING AND INVENTORY The bidder will supply at no charge their proper billing and inventory sheets to Citibus for their use during this agreement. SPECIFICATIONS Any catalog, brand name or manufacturer's reference in the specifications is descriptive and NOT restrictive, and are used to indicate type and quality level desired. Bids on brands of like nature and quality may be considered unless specifically excluded. If bidding on other than reference or specifications, bid must show manufacturer, brand, trade name, catalog and/or lot number, etc., on article offered and certify article offered is equivalent to specifications. If other than specified brand of items are offered, specifications, catalog sheets, illustrations and complete descriptive literature must be submitted with bid. Minor deviations from written specifications shall not necessarily disqualify a vendor's bid. The City of Lubbock specification committee will be the sole determiner of what constitutes a minor deviation. The City may deem it necessary to specify Approved Brands after conclusive testing, prior to usage or standardization. The City may test any sample(s), supplied free of charge, to qualify for the Approved Brand list. Each sample must be marked with bidder's name and address. At bidder's request and expense, the sample(s) not destroyed or used in examinations and testing will be returned. When specifications call for samples to be submitted, samples shall be delivered by the bidder, at bidder's expense, five days prior to the opening of bids. Each sample shall be clearly tagged to show bidder's name and address and item number. The City of Lubbock reserves the right to determine which specific items on any specification requirements require strict adherence, or are most important, and those that are not, or requiring a lesser degree of importance (i.e., the shade of paint is far less important than the horsepower of a motor). Such determination can and will be a basis for evaluating, recommending and making award. The City will, at its sole discretion, assess warranty offered, and utilize life -cycle costing and/or performance factors as the evaluation method and basis for award. The low bid most closely meeting specifications is usually the bid given the award, although delivery time is sometimes a necessary factor (i.e., a low bid that best meets specifications will not do us much good if delivery is two years from now). Should a requested specification sheet not be submitted with a bid, this is considered non -responsive and therefore may not be considered. PLEASE READ AND RESPOND TO SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS CAREFULLY. CONTRACT TERM The contract shall be for a term of one (1) year, with the option of two (2), one-year extensions, said date of term beginning upon formal approval. All stated annual quantities are approximations of usage during the time period to be covered by pricing established by this bid. Actual usage may be more or less. Order quantities will be determined by actual need. The City of Lubbock does not guarantee any specific amount of compensation, volume, minimum, or maximum amount of services under this bid and resulting contract. The Contractor must maintain the insurance coverage required during the term of this contract including any extensions. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that valid insurance is on file with the Purchasing and Contract Management Department as required by contract or contract may be terminated for non- compliance. This agreement includes incorporation of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Terms. The preceding provisions include, in part, certain Standard Terms and Conditions required by the Department of Transportation (DOT), whether or not expressly set forth in the preceding contract provisions. All contractual provisions required by DOT, as set forth in FTA Circular 4220.1F, are hereby incorporated by reference. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all FTA mandated terms shall be deemed to control in the event of a conflict with other provisions contained in this agreement. The Contractor shall not perform any act, fail to perform any act, or refuse to comply with any requests which would cause Citibus to be in violation of the FTA terms and conditions.
