El Paso County Ysleta Annex Community Kitchen

The County of El Paso is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for CSP 26-023 to construct the Ysleta Annex Community Kitchen, a single-story administrative building of approximately 12,000 square feet located at 9521 Socorro Road, El Paso, Texas. The facility will feature a commercial kitchen, private offices, open workspaces, a shared lobby, and a multi-purpose room for community engagement. The scope of work includes full building construction, utility installation, and site improvements such as ADA-compliant parking, lighting, and landscaping. The estimated budget for the project is between 5 million and 6 million dollars, with the contract to be awarded based on a 100-point evaluation scale focusing on the proposed contract amount, supporting cost documentation, past performance, financial stability, and employee health insurance. Because the project is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, it is subject to strict federal compliance under 2 CFR 200, including Buy America preferences, Section 3 subcontracting requirements, and the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages. Contractors must adhere to comprehensive insurance requirements and provide performance and payment bonds. Proposals must be submitted by 2:00 p.m. on October 15, 2026, via the Ion Wave platform or as a sealed hard copy. Mandatory submissions include a Code of Ethics Training Affidavit, as failure to provide this document results in automatic disqualification. The project is governed by AIA A101-2017 and A201-2017 standard forms, with the Architect overseeing inspections and final acceptance.
