BakerRipley is soliciting proposals for a qualified contractor to provide as-needed locksmith services to protect agency assets across various locations in Houston and Pasadena, Texas. The scope of work includes the installation, repair, and maintenance of commercial lockable hardware, such as doors, windows, lockers, and automatic electric doors, as well as the design and management of master key systems. A critical requirement is the ability to provide 24/7 emergency services with a same-day response time and the capacity to provide Medeco Security Keys using MX key blanks. The contract is intended to be valid for up to five years, with the possibility of four one-year renewals. Proposals must be submitted via email by November 4, 2026, and must include a comprehensive package consisting of a vendor qualifications form, an Excel bid sheet for pricing, and ten signed certification forms covering conflicts of interest, drug-free workplace standards, and Texas state tax compliance. Award decisions will be based on the most advantageous proposal, evaluated through weighted criteria including customer service, cost effectiveness, vendor experience, safety and training, company narrative, and back-office administration. Selected vendors must meet stringent insurance requirements, including a minimum of 1 million dollars per occurrence for general liability and state statutory limits for workers compensation. All equipment installations require approval from the agency facilities department, and the use of subcontractors requires prior written authorization.
