Repair Residence Lift Station at Village Creek State Park

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is seeking qualified contractors to repair the residence lift station at Village Creek State Park in Hardin County, Texas, under solicitation number 802-26-75832. Bids must be submitted electronically by May 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time, and late submissions will be disqualified. The scope of work includes the demolition and replacement of two 2 HP grinder pumps, installation of a new UL-listed duplex control panel with a 50-amp generator transfer switch, and replacement of all associated floats, piping, shackles, and chains, using only new materials. All work must be completed by August 31, 2026, during standard business hours, with the contractor responsible for site cleanup and proper waste disposal. A mandatory site visit with Erick Marroquin is required prior to bid submission, and failure to attend waives all rights to claims for additional compensation. Contractors must submit three verifiable project references completed within the last five years, along with completed bid schedules and qualification forms, and must comply with Texas prevailing wage laws, TCEQ and OSHA standards, and applicable building and plumbing codes. The procurement follows a best value trade-off methodology, with past performance serving as a threshold requirement—failure to meet the minimum standard results in disqualification. Other evaluation factors include alignment with agency goals, service quality and reliability, impact on operational productivity, customer focus, and relevant experience. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management, certify they are not debarred, and affirm compliance with Texas-specific requirements such as Buy Texas, Historically Underutilized Businesses preferences, and Texas bidder affirmation for price preferences. Additional mandatory requirements include a one-year warranty on labor and materials, E-Verify compliance for Texas-based hires, cybersecurity training for personnel accessing state systems, and adherence to the Drug-Free Workplace Act. The contract prohibits assignment without written approval, mandates that all subcontractors meet the same qualifications as the prime contractor, and allows for termination for convenience without liability for lost profits. Invoices must be submitted electronically to [email hidden] with the correct remit-to address, and all deliverables must include equipment manuals, schematics, and warranty documentation. No standard federal acquisition regulation clause numbering is used; instead, Texas-specific clauses govern terms such as environmental protection, inspection and acceptance, invoicing, fraud prevention, and change management, all interpreted under state law and policy.
