Tarrant County is seeking bids for six snowplows and related installation for vehicles serving Precinct 1 and Precinct 4.
- **Government buyer:** Tarrant County Purchasing; the bid invitation identifies Mikaylah Darby, Senior Buyer. The equipment is for Precinct 1 and Precinct 4, including the Precinct 4 Maintenance Facility.
- **Vehicle OEMs:** **Freightliner** and **Ford** are named as the manufacturers of the vehicles the plows must fit. No snowplow manufacturer, bidder, or reseller is named; bidders may propose equipment that meets or exceeds the specifications.
- **Products requested:**
  - One heavy-duty J-shaped plow for a 2027 Freightliner 114 serving Precinct 1.
  - One straight-blade plow for a 2020 Ford F250 and one for a 2015/2016 Ford F350 serving Precinct 4.
  - Three heavy-duty J-shaped plows for Precinct 4 Freightliner dump trucks: two 14-yard tandem trucks and one 7-yard single-rear-axle truck. The specifications describe the tandem trucks as 2020 and 2021 models and the single-axle truck as a 2021 model.
- **Notable equipment requirements:**
  - The J-shaped plows require blades at least 120 inches wide and 36 inches high, carbon steel or an approved equal, self-contained hydraulics, self-leveling, and quick mounting. Specifications also call for hardened-steel cutting edges; the Precinct 1 unit additionally requires adjustable tilt, plow-mounted headlights, and at least two trip springs. Dump-truck units require adjustable angles controlled from inside the cab, a full-trip moldboard with adjustable trip springs, and drainage openings.
  - The F250 straight-blade plow requires a blade at least 96 inches wide and 29 inches high; the F350 requires at least 108 inches wide and 29 inches high. Both require a snow deflector, plow-mounted headlights, at least nine reinforcement ribs, self-contained hydraulics, remotely adjustable angles, a full-trip moldboard, at least four trip springs, and rapid tool-free mounting with alignment assistance and an engagement indicator.
  - The addendum identifies stainless steel as an approved equal. The F250 and F350 are specified as 4x4 crew-cab, long-bed vehicles without snow-plow preparation; their fuel type and GVWR differ. Precinct 1 will supply its truck.
- **Installation and vendor capabilities:** Installation is requested with the plows. For Precinct 4 equipment, the vendor must provide a drop-off location within 100 miles of the Precinct 4 Maintenance Facility. Installation must follow manufacturer instructions, safety guidance, and vehicle OEM requirements; warranty work must not incur travel expenses. Vendors are asked for product literature, specifications, warranty information, full-service dealer capability, and applicable delivery and installation lead times. Demonstrations may be requested in the Fort Worth/Dallas area at no cost.
