What the buyer needs
AI summaryThe City of Austin Purchasing Office invites quotations under IFQ 1100 BAS1110 for bolted connectors. Quoted items must meet or exceed City of Austin specifications, and the City reserves the right to determine same or equal status.

Applicants must also complete the City of Austin Wage Theft Program certification and maintain required insurance, including Texas Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance. Respondents must email quotes to [email protected] on an FOB Destination basis with freight included and taxes excluded. The cover page lists bids due 11/17/2026 at 2:00 PM, while the instructions page lists offers due no later than 2:00 PM on 9/15/2026.
