TERM CONTRACT FOR SAFETY SHOES

Cameron County issued a competitive Invitation‑to‑Bid (I‑B) for a term contract to supply, fit, and repair safety work shoes for County employees across multiple departments. The contract is structured as a multi‑year, three‑level award (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary) with discounts off catalog prices as the evaluation metric. Up to three suppliers may be awarded, and the County can exercise a local‑preference rule if a local vendor is within 3 % of the lowest price. Vendors must provide on‑site measuring, weekly shoe repairs, and deliver goods F.O.B. the County. The award was made on 30 Dec 2025 to four vendors, each offering varying catalog‑price discounts (15 %–45 %). The contract runs from 2 Feb 2026 to 1 Feb 2027 with two optional one‑year extensions. Payments are net‑30 after delivery and invoice approval, and the County claims tax exemption. • Supplies ASTM F2413‑18 compliant safety shoes (steel‑toe or composite‑toe) county‑wide. • Evaluation based on percentage discount off vendor catalog prices; lowest‑price, responsible bidder wins each award level. • Vendor responsibilities include on‑site fitting, weekly repairs, and F.O.B. delivery; no minimum order quantity.
