BIDDING SYSTEM PRIOR TO SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL.

Compliance with Gov’t Code 552.372: The requirements of the Texas Public Information Act, Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, Subchapter J, may apply to this bid or contract if it is valued at more than $1 million. The contractor or vendor agrees the contract can be terminated if the contractor or vendor knowingly or intentionally fails to comply with a requirement of that subchapter, including the preservation of all “contracting information” (as defined in 552.003) and the provision, upon request of the governmental entity with whom you are contracting, of all contracting information. Contracting information includes, but is not limited to, records, communications and other documents related to the bids process, contract, payments, receipts, scope of work/services, and performance. Therefore, FBISD must and will provide all procurement and bid submittal information to any third-party that submits a Public Information Act request for the documents, with the exception of vendor financial statements.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGH

THE CENTRAL TEXAS PURCHASING ALLIANCE

A. Membership. Fort Bend Independent School District is a member in good standing of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA / txctpa.org), an alliance of over 40 school districts in Texas representing over a million students, sharing information, documents, services and contractual opportunities. CTPA is an alliance created in accordance with Section 791.001 of the Texas Government Code through interlocal agreements.

B. Adoption of Awarded Contracts. In support of this collaborative effort, all awards made by Fort Bend Independent School District may be adopted by other active CTPA member districts. By adopting a contract from another CTPA member district, the adopting district has met the competitive bidding requirements established by the Texas Education Code, Section 44.0331(a)(4) and as required by the adopting district’s policies. There is no obligation on either party to participate unless both parties agree. The goods and services provided under the contract will be at the same or better pricing and purchasing terms established by the originating district.

ELECTRONIC COMMERCE:

Fort Bend ISD uses PeopleSoft as its financial software system. Vendors will have ecommerce capability to interface with PeopleSoft for electronic ordering capabilities. FBISD may implement electronic commerce capability for awarded vendors. All orders would then be sent to the awarded vendor electronically, thus significantly reducing the order processing lead-time. Vendors will enable electronic commerce (Punch-out or catalog) capabilities to enable the district to purchase goods electronically from an awarded vendor’s website with contracted prices and discounts thereby facilitating a shopping cart experience similar to Internet shopping. If enabled the vendor will be responsible for updating their electronic catalog.

VENDOR COMMUNICATION:

Communication between the Purchasing Department and vendors is imperative and encouraged.

Steps must be taken, however, to maintain a fair and equitable opportunity to compete for all vendors and avoid any appearance of favoritism. To protect the integrity of the process, the following guidelines apply once the solicitation is issued:

1. Communication regarding this RFP with district employees, staff, consultants, or Board members, other than the assigned Buyer listed, is strictly prohibited and may result in disqualification.

2. All requests for clarifications, additional information, or questions must be submitted in writing to the Assigned Buyer during the Question-and-Answer period as outlined in the solicitation document.

3. All responses to inquiries and any necessary corrections to the solicitation will be communicated through the addendum process by the Assigned Buyer.

By adhering to these guidelines, the District ensures a “level playing field” among all eligible vendors throughout the solicitation process.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The award of this contract will not be based solely on price. Rather, Fort Bend ISD will award the contract on the basis of “best value”, considering all applicable mandatory evaluation factors listed in Texas Education Code Section 44.031.

SCOPE OF WORK

Fort Bend Independent School District (“District”) is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide Physical Education (PE) uniforms, spirit wear apparel, coaching apparel, and related items for campuses across the District. The intent of this solicitation is to establish contracts with multiple vendors capable of providing a broad range of apparel options while supporting the unique branding and cultural identity of each campus. The District serves a large and diverse community with many schools, programs, and student groups. Campuses order PE uniforms and spirit wear apparel throughout the year, and many items need customization to reflect school spirit, logos, colors, and team identity. Order volume may vary depending on enrollment, activities, and campus needs.

The awarded vendors will support District, campus, and program needs by providing high-quality, durable, and affordable apparel with timely delivery and dependable customer service.

Vendors should offer a good selection of apparel, the ability to customize items, and flexible ordering options for students, staff, coaches, and families. Vendors submitting a proposal should be established businesses whose primary work includes selling apparel such as T-shirts, polo shirts, athletic wear (coaching apparel), and similar items. Many purchased items will require customization such as embroidery, patches, or screen printing. All prices must include shipping.

Vendors must carry athletic-brand, moisture-wicking polo shirts such as Adidas, Nike, Under Armour, or equivalent brands commonly used in PE, spirit wear, and coaching apparel. This RFP is for Physical Education (PE) Uniforms, Spirit Wear Apparel, Coach Apparel, and Related Apparel Items ONLY.

1. Physical Education (PE) Uniforms

2. Spirit Wear Apparel

Vendors are required to provide a discount for Related Items, and the discount must be greater than 0%. The discount must be entered on the pricing form. Blank fields or 0% discounts will be considered a No Bid for that category.

Related Items do not include awards, promotional products, equipment, supplies, or any non-apparel items. Only apparel and apparel related accessories are permitted under this RFP.

Any value-added offering should be included in the vendor’s proposal.

Awarded vendors may work with campuses to design, maintain, and host customized microsites for campuses, PTOs, PTAs, student groups, and District-approved organizations.
