CSP - Construction and Renovation of Various Firing Ranges for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Firearms Complex for the Office of the County Engineer (Estimated Budget $4,000,000)

Harris County is soliciting bids for the construction and renovation of multiple firing ranges at the Sheriff’s Office Firearms Complex under solicitation number 26/0156, with an estimated budget of $4,000,000. The work encompasses structural upgrades, utility and stormwater improvements, lighting enhancements, replacement of target and baffle systems, expansion of parking areas, construction of new storage buildings and canopies, and replacement of perimeter walls, all to be completed in accordance with approved drawings and specifications provided via the Bonfire portal. The solicitation is open to qualified contractors who must comply with stringent OSHA safety regulations, including 29 CFR 1926 and 1910 standards for excavation, scaffolding, electrical safety, lockout/tagout, respiratory protection, and personal protective equipment. Contractors are required to submit a detailed Safety and Health Plan for approval prior to mobilization, conduct daily safety inspections using the County’s checklist, report near-misses within 48 hours, and submit accident investigations within five business days. All personnel must complete OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 training and Know Your Rights training before site access. The contract mandates full compliance with Texas environmental regulations, including TPDES for stormwater, and adherence to MUTCD for traffic control. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire portal or as a sealed hard copy by the deadline of June 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Houston time, with late submissions strictly rejected. The award will be made on a Lowest and Best Offer basis, meaning price is not the sole determining factor; technical compliance, safety record, past performance, and overall responsibility will be weighed holistically, potentially allowing the County to select a higher-priced but more qualified bidder. Vendors must truthfully complete a Safety Record Questionnaire, and any affirmative response regarding OSHA violations within the past three years, penalties exceeding $1,000, or open contested citations will necessitate submission of supporting documentation within ten business days upon request—failure to provide such documentation renders the bid nonresponsive. There is no requirement for Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications, and no specific line-item pricing structure is provided; instead, bidders must submit an all-inclusive pricing form via Bonfire. Contractors must also indemnify Harris County against claims arising from their negligence, maintain adequate insurance, and ensure all materials are new, unused, and of the highest quality from
