The Texas Department of Public Safety is soliciting bids for an interior refresh at its Conroe District Office located at 2 Hilbig Rd, Conroe, Texas 77301 under solicitation number 405-26R0014108, an Invitation for Bids issued on May 11, 2026, with responses due by June 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM Central Time. The work, classified under NAICS code 236220, encompasses comprehensive construction and installation activities to be performed in accordance with the Statement of Work, including adherence to the latest International Building Code, trade institute standards, and manufacturer-specific installation procedures. Key deliverables involve furniture movement, coordination of subcontractors and DPS staff, field verification of existing conditions, and compliance with specific specification sections covering gypsum board, resilient flooring, interior painting, and waste management. The project includes a base scope and two optional alternates, all with a performance deadline of August 31, 2026, and requires bidders to submit pricing via a mandatory pricing schedule that includes all costs, fees, and expenses, with no guaranteed minimum compensation. Contractors must comply with a wide array of state-specific legal and regulatory requirements, including Texas Government Code provisions on prevailing wages, preferred products, and public disclosures, as well as the Prompt Payment Act governing invoicing and interest on delayed payments. Bidders are required to be properly registered in Texas, provide a Certificate of Existence and Account Status, complete W-9 and AP-152 forms, and certify eligibility, including HUB status and absence of debarment or child support delinquency. All personnel must pass DPS background checks using the HR-22 form, comply with CJIS security policies, and maintain required security clearances. Performance bonds are mandatory for contracts over $100,000 and payment bonds for contracts over $25,000, with bond costs included in the base bid. Deliverables must be handled with strict packaging and storage protocols—items delivered in original, unopened packaging labeled with product, manufacturer, and project identification, stored in controlled environments between 45°F and 90°F depending on material type. The award will be based on best value under Texas law, with past performance serving as a mandatory pass/fail gate; bidders with unsatisfactory ratings, unresolved corrective actions, or recent cancelled orders will be disqualified.
