Job Order Contracting Services for Interior Renovations and General Construction Services

The University of Texas at Tyler is soliciting proposals under RFP No. 750-25/26-013 for Job Order Contracting services to perform interior renovations and general construction work across its campus. This contract operates under a Job Order Contracting (JOC) framework, functioning as an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle that allows the University to issue multiple task orders under a single master agreement without requiring separate procurements. The estimated contract value ranges from $200,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000, with work to be performed on-site at various university locations, subject to coordination with the University’s Designated Representative. The procurement is governed by Texas Education Code Section 51.784, and contractors must comply with the University’s Standard Specifications, State of Texas Uniform General Conditions, and applicable federal and state regulations including OSHA standards for asbestos and hazardous materials. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the BonfireHub portal by August 25, 2026, with no exceptions for late, email, fax, or phone submissions. The evaluation process uses a trade-off method, awarding the contract to the offeror whose proposal provides the most advantageous combination of technical merit and pricing, rather than selecting the lowest-priced technically acceptable bid. Evaluation is weighted at 60% for technical and management factors and 40% for pricing. Technical evaluation includes company profile, experience, financial stability, past performance, quality assurance, and the ability to rapidly respond to fluctuating work volumes, while pricing is determined by a coefficient bid schedule that incorporates risk factors such as material shortages, weather delays, and subcontractor reliability. Key requirements include the submission of a detailed project staff list, OSHA 10 certification for key personnel, adherence to a weekly safety program, use of specific software platforms (Procore, e4Clicks, Microsoft Office 2016), and compliance with campus conduct rules, including uniform and ID badge requirements. Contractors must also provide performance and payment bonds, maintain a quality control program with independent inspectors, and ensure all equipment is properly labeled with permanent, fade-resistant warranty tags. Attachment-based requirements include campus maps, job order and change order forms, and affirmations related to Texas residency, ownership disclosure, and prohibitions against doing business with Iran or Sudan. The contract includes no FOB terms, federal accounting codes, or electronic invoicing system requirements, and
