Tarrant County is seeking an annual agreement to maintain, repair, and supply UPS equipment at four County facilities.
- **Buyer:** Tarrant County Purchasing Department; technical specifications prepared by Facilities Management.
- **OEMs named:** **Eaton** (UPS equipment) and **Alber** (battery-monitoring modules). No authorized reseller or bidder is named; the contractor must be authorized by the manufacturer for the brands it offers.
- **Equipment listed:** Correction Center — one Eaton 9155-8-10_32 battery unit and 52 loose VRLA batteries; Green Bay Jail — one “Power & SA” item; Lon Evans Corrections Center — one Eaton 9170 unit, three Eaton 9155-8-10_64 units, and 29 loose VRLA batteries; Plaza Building — two Alber RTM-XLR modules (P/N 1002/256), ten Alber DCM-XL48 modules (P/N 1003-100-DCM-XLd48), and one Alber CM-XL8 controller (P/N 1002-212B). The listed quantities describe equipment at the facilities; additional equipment supply may be requested, with no specific quantity stated.
- **Services:** At each of the four facilities, provide two quarterly inspections, one six-month inspection, and one annual inspection per year. Also provide as-needed repairs and quote labor rates for weekday daytime, weekday evening, and weekend/holiday work.
- **Maintenance and repair requirements:** Inspections cover UPS units, batteries, electrical measurements, contamination, cooling, and software updates; the more extensive visits add testing, cleaning, thermal scans, connection tightening, operational checks, and a monitored battery rundown test. Obtain written approval before repairs, provide itemized quotes and quarterly repair reports, and respond to service calls within four hours. Warranty repairs must use OEM parts.
- **Contractor qualifications:** Maintain suitably equipped and staffed technicians; at least one responding technician must have five years of UPS field experience. County-property personnel must pass required background checks. The contractor may be asked to show at least five years as a locally licensed contractor.
- **Security and data handling:** If a hosted or cloud solution is used, requirements include protecting County data, notifying the County of breaches within 48 hours, keeping data in the contiguous United States, providing patches, designating a security contact, and permitting security audits. Russ Scott, the County Chief Information Security Officer, is identified as the security contact.
- **Pricing note:** The solicitation materials differ on repair-part pricing: one section says parts are reimbursed at cost without markup or fees, while detailed specifications allow markup or fees up to 25%. Bidders should seek clarification.
- **Term:** One 12-month initial term, with two optional 12-month renewals. Quantities are estimates and are not guaranteed.
