This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Pittsburg, Texas. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

This is a solicitation issued by The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), a department of Texas Region 8 Education Service Center. It is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity ("IDIQ") solicitation. It will result in contracts that provide, through adoption/"piggyback" an indefinite quantity of supplies/services, during a fixed period of time, to TIPS public entity and qualifying non-profit "TIPS Members" throughout the nation. Thus, there is no specific project or scope of work to review. Rather this solicitation is issued as a prospective award for utilization when any TIPS Member needs the goods or services offered during the life of the agreement. This is a two part solicitation. Part 1 is solicited for TIPS sales that are not considered a "public work" construction project. Part 1 permits the sale of goods and non-construction/non-"public work" services such as maintenance and minor repairs. Part 2 Job Order Contract (JOC) is solicited for projects considered by your TIPS Member Customers to be a "public work" construction project. The determination of whether or not a TIPS sale amounts to a "public work" construction project requiring a Part 2 JOC contract is made by the TIPS Member Customer at the time of each TIPS sale. Thus, Vendors are encouraged to respond to both Parts 1 and 2 in case your TIPS Member Customers require that a sale be made under one Part or the other. However, responding to both Parts is not required. IF YOU CURRENTLY HOLDS TIPS CONTRACT 20020501 OR 20020502 SYNTHETIC OR NATURAL SPORTS FIELDS, COURTS OR TRACKS PART 1 OR 2 ("20020501 OR 02"), OR IF YOU HOLD TIPS CONTRACT 200202 GROUNDS AND TURF MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT, PARTS, AND REPAIR SERVICES ("200202"), YOU MUST RESPOND TO THIS SOLICITATION TO PREVENT LAPSE OF CONTRACT UNLESS YOU HOLD ANOTHER CURRENT TIPS CONTRACT THAT COVERS ALL OF YOUR OFFERINGS. THIS AWARDED CONTRACT WILL REPLACE YOUR EXPIRING TIPS CONTRACT 20020501 AND/OR 20020502 AND/OR 200202. IF YOU HOLD ANOTHER TIPS CONTRACT OTHER THAN 20020501 AND/OR 20020502 AND/OR 200202 WHICH COVERS ALL OF YOUR OFFERINGS AND YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH IT, THERE IS NO NEED TO RESPOND TO THIS SOLICITATION UNLESS YOU PREFER TO HOLD BOTH CONTRACTS.

However, substantive questions that are not properly addressed in the solicitation information will be properly published to all vendors as an addendum or "Question & Answer" document.
