Operable Wall Repairs, Preventative Maintenance & Inspections - Indefinite Quantity Contract

Northside Independent School District is soliciting sealed bids under RFQ 2026-130 for an Indefinite Quantity Contract to provide inspection services, preventative maintenance, and repairs for all interior manual and power-operated walls across multiple district locations. This solicitation replaces RFQ 2023-187 and requires all previous and new vendors to respond to maintain business eligibility. The scope of work includes cleaning and lubricating track running surfaces, checking trolleys, and providing detailed written condition reports. To ensure quality, inspectors must be licensed Architects or Engineers in Texas or possess at least ten years of experience and certification from a major operable wall manufacturer. The selection process is based on a best value determination rather than price alone, with evaluation weights focusing on the ability to meet district needs (30%), proposer information and references (25%), other relevant factors (10%), and past relationship with the district (5%). Proposals must be submitted in two phases, with the initial qualification submission strictly prohibiting pricing information. Required documentation includes company information, insurance certifications, W9, and a past performance questionnaire. The submission deadline is October 29, 2026, at 11:00 AM CT. Contractual requirements include compliance with the Texas Prompt Payment Act, with payments made within 30 days of invoice receipt. Vendors must adhere to federal regulations when federal funds are used, including the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages, the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, and Equal Employment Opportunity standards. All goods are provided F.O.B. Destination, freight prepaid, and services must be performed in a professional, workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. Subcontracting requires prior written approval from the district, and an official purchase order is mandatory for all authorized work.
