CSP - Demolition, Construction, and Renovation of the HVAC System and Building Envelop at the Hardy Senior Center for the Office of the County Engineer (Estimated Budget $651,819)

Harris County is soliciting bids for the demolition, construction, and renovation of the HVAC system and building envelope at the Hardy Senior Center with an estimated budget of $651,819 under solicitation number 26/0134. The proposal deadline is June 8, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Houston time, and submissions must be made electronically through the Bonfire portal or as a sealed hard copy to the Harris County Purchasing Department. Work must be completed within 240 calendar days, with performance taking place at the Hardy Senior Center in Texas. The project requires full compliance with construction specifications including adherence to NFPA 70, ASTM E84, ASHRAE, UL, and other industry standards for systems installation, insulation thermal performance, and safety. Contractors must use Harris County’s e-Builder software to update project data within 24 hours of any change, and Trimble Construct serves as the official electronic record-keeping system superseding general contract conditions where applicable. All labeling and marking must follow strict guidelines: thermal transfer printed labels of minimum 2x4 inches with black text on white for equipment, blue on white for ducts, and white on red for warnings; lettering must be sized according to viewing distance, and handwritten markings are prohibited unless explicitly allowed. Metal and plastic labels must meet material thickness and adhesive standards, with stainless steel fasteners required. Inspection and acceptance occur solely at the project site, with the contractor responsible for all testing, submittals, and quality control unless otherwise specified. Contractors must disclose all subcontractors and suppliers, provide OSHA 300/300A logs upon request, and complete a Safety Record Questionnaire; any affirmative response regarding prior OSHA violations triggers mandatory reporting of citations, abatement actions, and legal status. Change orders must be in writing and approved formally; price adjustments exceeding 25% increase or 18% decrease require special consent. Title to materials transfers to Harris County upon physical receipt at the site, indicating FOB Destination terms. The contract includes no federal FAR clauses but incorporates local construction specifications that govern substitution procedures, closeout requirements, and change control. No accounting codes, payment office details, COR/COTR names, or explicit contract type (e.g., FFP) are provided, and no UEI or socioeconomic certifications are required. Proposals must strictly follow the County’s templates without alteration, and failure to comply may result in rejection.
