RFP - Emergency Debris Removal and Management Services for Harris County (Grant Funded)

Harris County is seeking qualified contractors to provide Emergency Debris Removal and Management Services under a grant-funded solicitation with the number 26/0066, issued on May 8, 2026, and with responses due by June 8, 2026. The work is to be performed entirely within Harris County, Texas, and is subject to the County’s Minimum Wage Policy for Contract Workers, which mandates that all workers on the project receive at least the locally established minimum wage, adjusted annually on October 1 based on the MIT Living Wage Calculator. Contractors must self-certify compliance with this wage requirement at the time of bid submission, and failure to do so results in automatic disqualification. All subcontractors at every tier must also comply, and prime contractors are required to include binding language in all subcontracts ensuring adherence to wage and recordkeeping obligations. Contractors must retain detailed payroll records and timesheets for six years after contract completion and must grant the County full access to these records during audits. Non-compliance can lead to payment withholding, contract termination, suspension or debarment, repayment of underpaid wages, and disqualification from future awards. The policy does not apply to contracts under $100,000, emergency contracts, suppliers of goods without labor, interlocal agreements, sole-source contracts, or federally funded contracts where federal law prohibits application. No formal Statement of Work, pricing tables, or delivery schedules are provided in the available documentation, nor are specific evaluation factors, contract type, or payment methods defined. However, offerors must submit required attachments including a Statement of Qualifications, Contractor Profile with Unique Entity ID and ownership information, References, and a Vendor Disclosure form detailing litigation history. Additionally, any offeror engaging in lobbying activities related to federal awards must complete and submit the SF-LLL form. The Contracting Office is the Harris County Purchasing Department, with Margaret Obot as the primary point of contact. Proposals must be submitted via the Bonfire portal, and while no page limits or file specifications are provided, offerors may attach additional pages as needed to fully respond to the requirements.
