RFP 2026.02 Playground Equipment Removal

Brazosport College is soliciting proposals for the complete removal of playground equipment from the Bill and Julia May Children’s Center on its Lake Jackson, Texas campus under RFP 2026.02. Vendors must submit their proposals electronically via the Ion Wave online bidding portal by 2:00 p.m. Central Time on May 13, 2026; manual submissions are permitted only if delivered in a sealed envelope clearly labeled with the RFP number, due date, company name, and return address to the Business Services office, and any fax or email submissions will not be accepted. Proposals submitted after the deadline will not be considered, and the College assumes no responsibility for lost or delayed mail. The solicitation is open to all responsible vendors without discrimination, and the College reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and waive formalities as necessary to serve its best interest. The scope of work requires full disassembly, safe removal, transportation, and site restoration of existing playground structures, with the vendor accepting the equipment “as-is, where-is” with no warranties. The vendor assumes ownership only upon successful removal from campus property and is responsible for all costs, labor, equipment, and compliance with safety standards. Proposals must include a detailed removal plan, proposed timeline aligned with the College’s Facilities Master Plan, documentation of financial capacity and insurance coverage—including Commercial General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and Automobile Liability with the College named as an additional insured—and required certifications such as a W-9, signed Conflict of Interest Form, Felony Conviction Notification, and Acknowledgement of Conditions. Texas-specific state certifications under HB 89/SB 252, SB 13, SB 19, and Executive Order GA-48 must also be completed and signed, with exemptions available for entities under ten full-time employees and contract value under $100,000. Proposals will be evaluated on a best-value trade-off basis across five weighted categories: removal plan and technical approach (30 points), proposed timeline (25 points), organizational experience (20 points), intended reuse and community benefit (15 points), and proposal completeness and quality (10 points). Site restoration must meet College standards, including complete removal of debris, anchors, and hardware. No contract value estimate is provided, and payment procedures, invoicing methods, or federal accounting codes are not specified; correspondence and inquiries should be directed to Cara Green or Ginger Wooster.
