The document is a specification for a windshield repair or replacement service for vehicles owned by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The document outlines the qualifications required for the service provider, including being an established company with experience in windshield repair or replacement and using technicians with at least two years of experience. The service provider must also provide references and be responsible for any damage caused to TxDOT vehicles.
The document specifies that the vendor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision for the service. They must have the capability to provide service when needed and obtain approval from a TxDOT representative before performing the service. The vendor must also provide contact information for repair or replacement service during normal business hours and answer or accept telephone orders during those hours. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the purchase order.
The vendor is responsible for providing the service within eight normal business hours of a request from a TxDOT representative. They must have mobile service trucks equipped with all necessary tools, equipment, and supplies to perform the service at remote sites.
TxDOT's responsibilities include providing a list of employees who can authorize the service and providing the location of vehicles and equipment to be serviced. They may also reschedule or relocate vehicles for repair if extreme temperatures would affect the visual appearance.
The document specifies the requirements for the resin used in the repair, including that it must be polyester fiberglass resin and meet certain minimum requirements. The vendor must provide Material Safety Data Sheets for the resins upon request.
The document also outlines the requirements for the repair or replacement of automotive glass, including that all glass must be new automotive safety type and meet or exceed federal, state, and local requirements. The vendor must provide repair service for cracks and chips within specified limits and must not repair cracks in the acute area of the windshield. If a repaired crack reforms within 30 days, the vendor must repair it at no cost or issue a credit for windshield replacement. The finish of the repair must be virtually undetectable, excess sealer must be removed, and the vendor must clean up the work area and dispose of all materials properly.
