Stephen F. Austin State University solicited a comprehensive tire‑service contract for its vehicle fleet. The contract covers flat‑tire repairs, tire mounting/dismounting, alignment, balancing, low‑pressure sensor replacement, disposal fees, and 24/7 roadside assistance within a 75‑mile radius (with mileage‑based rates beyond that). All services are quoted on a unit‑price basis, and the university requires next‑day alignment service and a minimum inventory of two tires for each commonly purchased size. The award was made to Boatman Tire & Service, and the contract runs from September 1 2024 to August 31 2025 with the option for two one‑year renewals.
• Scope includes repair, maintenance, disposal, sensor replacement, and emergency roadside service for passenger cars, light‑duty, medium/heavy‑duty trucks, and equipment.
• Pricing is fixed per unit for the initial term; future escalations are capped at the quoted rates.
• Vendor must provide 24/7 emergency service and maintain a stock of new tires per university specifications.
