SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description of City of Galveston
The City of Galveston ("COG") is an island community with 32-miles of coastline and historic architecture that
more than 50,000 residents call home. We are home to a port, a major medical complex, and two universities.
COG employs more than 800 people to provide essential services to our residents.
COG located in Texas is a home rule city, and is governed through a council-manager form of government.
COG's web page is located at https://www.galvestontx.gov
1.2 Objective of this Invitation to Bid
The City of Galveston ("COG") is soliciting bids in response to this Invitation to Bid, ITB 26-06 (this "ITB"), from
qualified vendors to provide 7.5 MG Ground Storage Tank (the "Services"). The Services are more specifically
described in Section 2 (Scope of Work) of this ITB.
COG reserves the right to award multiple Agreements as a result of this ITB if deemed in the best interest
of COG. COG makes no representations of any kind that an award will be made as a result of this ITB.
COG is soliciting competitive sealed submissions from vendors having suitable qualifications and experience
providing services in accordance with the terms, conditions and requirements set forth in this ITB. This ITB
provides sufficient information for interested parties to prepare and provides submissions for consideration by
COG.
1.3 Public Information
Bidder is hereby notified that COG strictly adheres to all statutes, court decisions and the opinions of the Texas
Attorney General with respect to disclosure of public information.
COG strictly adheres to the Texas Public Information Act (Texas Government Code Chapter 552.001, et seq.)
and all other governing statutes, regulations, and laws regarding the disclosure of ITB information. Bid
Documents are not available for public inspection until after the Agreement award. If the Bidder has notified
COG, in writing, that the bid Document contains trade secrets or confidential information, COG will generally
take reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of such information, in accordance with the Public Information Act.
This is a statement of general policy only, and in no event shall COG be liable for disclosure of such information
by COG in response to a request, regardless of COG's failure to take such reasonable steps, even if COG is
negligent in failing to do so.
The requirements of Subchapter J, Chapter 552, Government Code, may apply to this solicitation and the
company or vendor agrees that the agreement can be terminated if the company or vendor knowingly or
intentionally fails to comply with a requirement of that chapter. Vendor or company acknowledges that the
solicitation is part of any resulting agreement of the solicitation.
1.4 Type of Agreement
All Bidders are hereby put on notice that if the Bidder is awarded an agreement for procurement of goods or
services, COG is entering into that agreement in its governmental capacity, and not a proprietary capacity.
An award of an agreement to a bidder(s) does not guarantee the bidders(s) that COG shall issue any Purchase
Order(s) for the Bidder's goods or services, or guarantee any particular volume use, number, or sales.

Bidder will be required to enter into an agreement with COG in a form substantially similar to the Proposed
Sample Agreement between COG and Bidder (the "Agreement") attached to this ITB in Section 7 and
incorporated for all purposes.
Bidders should be aware that the contents of the successful bid will become a part of the subsequent contractual
documents. Failure of the Bidder to accept this obligation may result in the cancellation of any award.
By submitting a bid, Bidder further warrants and represents that he/she has become fully acquainted with the
conditions, facts, and circumstances relating to providing the services/products required under this ITB. The
failure or omission of Bidder to acquaint himself/herself with existing conditions, facts, and circumstances, shall
in no way relieve him/her of any obligation with respect to his/her bid and any ensuing agreement.
Each Bidder acknowledges that COG has made a reasonable attempt to provide the Bidder with relevant data.
The Bidder, therefore, waives any right of voidance of the agreement based upon any expressed or implied
warranty or representation that the pricing or activity data provided discloses all requirements, risks or exposures
known to exist in the provision of the services being requested.
1.5 Clarifications and Interpretations
Bidders shall promptly notify the COG of any omissions, ambiguity, inconsistency or error that they may discover
upon examination of this ITB. COG shall not be responsible or liable for any errors and/or misrepresentation that
result from the solicitations which are inadvertently incomplete, ambiguous, inconsistent or obviously erroneous.
COG may, in its sole discretion, respond in writing to written inquiries concerning this ITB. Only COG's
responses that are made by formal written Addenda will be binding on COG. Any verbal responses, written
interpretations or clarifications other than Addenda to this ITB will be without legal effect. All Addenda issued by
COG prior to the Submittal Deadline will be and are hereby incorporated as a part of this ITB for all purposes.
Bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of each Addendum as specified in this Section. The Bidder must
acknowledge all Addenda by completing, signing and returning the Addenda Checklist. The Addenda Checklist
must accompany the Bidder's bid.
Responses to inquiries which directly affect an interpretation or effect a change to this ITB will be issued in writing
by addendum and posted to COG website. All such addenda issued by COG prior to the submittal deadline shall
be considered part of the ITB. COG shall not be bound by any reply to an inquiry unless such reply is made by
such formal written addendum.
1.6 Bid Evaluation Process
An award of an agreement to provide the goods or services specified herein will be made using competitive
sealed bids, in accordance with Chapter 252 of the Texas Local Government Code and with COG's purchasing
policy. All bids submitted by the Submittal Deadline, accompanied by the number of completed and signed
originals that are required by this ITB, will be opened publicly. Any bids that are not submitted by the Submittal
Date, or that are not accompanied by the number of completed and signed originals by this ITB, will be rejected
by COG as non-responsive due to material failure to comply with advertised specifications.
If the Bid Document is incomplete or otherwise fails to conform to the requirements of the ITB, COG alone will
determine whether the variance is so significant as to render the Bid non-responsive.
Discussions may not be initiated by bidders. These discussions will be limited to issues and topics
brought forth by the COG. Any attempt by bidder at deviating from the issues and topics to discuss other
issues and topics concerning the Bid brought forth by the COG shall be grounds for disqualification.
Bidders shall not contact any COG personnel during the bid process without the express permission
from the COG's Purchasing Manager.
A variety of factors may be used in the evaluation of the submitted Bids for this project. The anticipated
evaluation factors and emphasis placed on each factor may be identified in the Scope of Services. COG
