Kinney County Residence Lease

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is soliciting bids to lease a single residential property between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet located within 45 driving miles of Brackettville in Kinney County, Texas. The solicitation, numbered 802-26-77168v2, was posted on June 1, 2026, with bids due by 2:00 PM Central Time on June 15, 2026. Responses must include four exhibits: a completed Price Sheet detailing monthly rent, deposit, pet fees, and utility costs; a Property Location and Condition report; a Company Profile; and References. Proposals may be submitted via email to [email hidden] or by mail or hand delivery to the department’s Austin office, and late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstance. The contract is governed by TPWD’s internal lease terms, revised in January 2026, which do not follow Federal Acquisition Regulation clause numbering but incorporate state-specific legal requirements, including compliance with the Texas Prompt Payment Act and the Texas Government Code. Bidders must be registered in the System for Award Management, provide a valid Texas Identification Number, and meet several certifications, including E-Verify compliance for all employees, debarment and suspension status verification, and HUB status self-certification if claiming preference. Contractors are required to maintain commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate, workers’ compensation insurance as required by law, and must indemnify TPWD against claims arising from intellectual property infringement or third-party injuries. The property must meet stringent condition standards: it must be a single- or two-story home with functioning HVAC, refrigerator, stove, and washer/dryer hookups; clean flooring; operational smoke and gas alarms; a fire extinguisher; and at least two vehicle parking spaces. Inspections will be conducted on-site by TPWD to verify compliance with Exhibit B, and final acceptance is contingent upon meeting all structural, safety, and sanitation requirements. Awards will be made based on a best value determination weighing cost, utility expenses, neighborhood safety, property condition, parking, security, and moving costs, without numerical weighting or use of LPTA. Payments are made monthly in advance by the 15th of each month, subject to state appropriation, and vendors may be subject to performance tracking under the Vendor Performance Tracking
