The Lubbock Power & Light
Purchasing Department attempts at all times to maintain goodwill between
LP&L and the business community. Toward this end we strive to:
Give all suppliers full,
fair, prompt and courteous consideration.
Keep competition open and
fair.
Solicit supplier
suggestions in the determination of clear and adequate specifications and
standards.
Cooperate with suppliers
and consider possible difficulties they may encounter.
Observe strict truthfulness
and highest ethics in all transactions and correspondence.
The Lubbock Power & Light
Purchasing Department does not maintain it's own "vendor list". Vendors
interested in doing business with LP&L should register themselves with
Internet based "RFPDEPOT.com" for notification of electronic and
non-electronic bids. Any bid or RFP where electronic responses will not be
accepted will be published on "RFPDEPOT.com", or a copy may be obtained
by calling (806) 775-2170.
Sealed bids must be
received at the location specified in the bid request prior to the due date
and time or they will be considered to be non-responsive. Bids received
after the due date/time or faxed bids will not be accepted.
Sealed bids are opened
Mondays through Fridays, as specified in the bid request. Most bid openings
are public. Bids or proposals that are deemed to be of a “competitive
matter” will not be publicly disclosed. Section 552.133 of the Texas
Government Code allows the City to withhold electric utility information
from the public that they deem competitive (the release would give the
City’s competitors an advantage if they obtained such information). The City
passed Resolution 6559 in October of 1999 where the City Council determined
that purchasing information (including bid information) of LP&L was
a competitive matter and not
subject to public disclosure.
LP&L is exempt from payment
of federal excise and transportation taxes, as well as Texas State or local
sales and use taxes. If it is determined that the price quoted and recorded
on any order or invoice rendered include any such taxes, the amount of the
taxes will be deducted from the total of the invoice.
