Construction of New Road at Singley Academy

Irving Independent School District is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the construction of a new road at Singley Academy, with an estimated budget of $600,000. The project requires full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, and the substantial completion date is set for August 1, 2026. Bidders must submit a hard copy of the bid bond by the closing deadline of June 4, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., though electronic submission through the district’s e-sourcing portal is strongly recommended and will prevail over any paper submission; emailed or faxed bids are not accepted. A pre-proposal conference and site visit was held on May 27, 2026, at Singley Academy. Addendum #1 includes the construction plans, and Addendum #2 addresses vendor questions, updates the activities tab, and provides a sign-in sheet, both accessible via the attachments tab. The solicitation is issued under NAICS code 237310 as a competitive sealed bid procurement, and although the contract type is not formally designated, it is structured as a firm fixed price based on the fixed budget and bid process. Offers are evaluated for best value, considering price, long-term costs, quality, compliance with district needs, vendor reputation, past relationship with the district, impact on historically underutilized businesses, and Texas-based operations, though no weights or ratings are assigned to these factors. All work must conform to industry standards and applicable laws including Buy America provisions, ADA, EPA, and Texas education codes. Contractors must ensure personnel with student contact undergo background checks, and they are prohibited from using telecommunications equipment from Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, or Dahua, or engaging entities tied to China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia. Bidders must be registered in SAM, and any sole source justification must be certified in writing. No e-mailed or faxed bids are permitted, and late or incomplete submissions will be rejected. Payment terms and contract administration details are not fully specified, though invoices must reference the purchase order and be sent to the district’s accounts payable office. The contract requires compliance with 2 CFR § 200 record retention standards, whistleblower protections, and environmental regulations, with inspection and acceptance occurring upon delivery. The district reserves the right to reject any bid and make award based on a best value determination rather than lowest price.
