The contract pertains to the renovation of three racquetball courts—Courts 1, 2, and 8—at the Leroy Moore Gymnasium, Building 0758, on the campus of Prairie View A&M University in Texas, to be converted into a unified teaching space. This project is solicited under the numbers PV-0749 and PV-0753, with a NAICS code of 236220 for construction of educational facilities, and is designated as a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) set-aside. The HUB Subcontracting Plan is mandatory for all bidders, and successful contractors must submit monthly HUB Progress Assessment Reports with each pay application, with inquiries directed to Shawna Prater at srprater@pvamu.edu. The project is scheduled to commence on July 13, 2026, and must be completed by November 16, 2026, with construction documents and all supplementary materials accessible via the e-builder portal and the Trimble Unity Construct Bid Package. Technical and administrative questions must be directed to Joe Ellis, CCM, the SSC Project Manager, whose contact information includes both email and phone number, and all technical inquiries regarding the Construction Documents are also to go through him. Proposals must be mailed or hand-delivered to the SSC Service Solutions address in Prairie View, TX, and bidders are required to include an email address on the outside of their submission envelopes. Proposals are due no later than June 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM, following an extension from the original deadline of May 27, 2026, and will be publicly opened on June 10, 2026, at 2:30 PM. Evaluation is based on a combination of weighted factors and pass/fail gates: the base proposal amount and alternates account for 45% of the score, construction time for 20%, and the technical proposal for 20%, which includes company history, qualifications, personnel ability, project methodology, and subcontractor listings. Additionally, proposals must pass three mandatory gates—Litigation & Claims, Safety & Risk Assessment, and Quality Control—each worth 5% and acting as disqualifiers if failed. The Safety Plan and Site Specific Risk Assessment are critical components of the technical offering. Pre-proposal meetings were held on May 12, 202
