About this file

This is an instructional document for Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) clarifying the bidding requirements for Package B of a Comprehensive Services Package (CSP) related to BP048 HVAC - MEP West Zone 3 in Texas. The document establishes that Package A should contain the contractor's base bid on the Base Bid Form, while Package B must include all alternate bids requested by the District and a base bid adjustment line item. Bidders who fail to submit alternate pricing will be deemed non-responsive and disqualified. Deviations are not permitted in the base bid or base bid adjustment; any proposed deviations must be submitted separately as Alternate No. 2 on the Deviations Form and are subject to evaluation and potential negotiation rather than automatic acceptance.

The base bid adjustment mechanism allows bidders to add to or deduct from their original Package A base bid submission, with the final base bid calculated by combining the Package A base bid with the Package B adjustment. Bidders must select one of four options for the adjustment: "Add" (specifying an amount to increase the base bid), "Deduct" (specifying an amount to decrease the base bid), "No change," or "Not Applicable (NA)." The Purchasing Department will perform the final calculation to determine the overall base bid amount used for evaluation purposes. No deviations are permitted within the base bid submission itself, ensuring clear separation between the firm base pricing and any proposed modifications.

Clarification for Package B of Fort Bend ISD CSP

Package A – Base Bid and All Documents EXCEPT Alternates and SBE Documents

Package A should include the contractor’s base bid for the project on the Base Bid Form

Package B – Alternates and Base Bid Adjustment (correction)

Package B should include the following on the Alternate Form:

• The bidder’s alternate bids as requested by the District. If a bidder does not submit alternate pricing, they will be disqualified as a non-responsive bidder.

• The bidder’s base bid adjustment to their original base bid submitted in Package A.

• Deviations should not be included in the base bid or base bid adjustment.

Bidder should enter the amount the District may ADD to or DEDUCT from their base bid submitted in Package A. For example, if the bidder submitted a base bid in Package A as $10,000,000 but realized they should have submitted the base bid as $10,500,000, then the bidder would insert an ADD in the Base Bid Adjustment line as $500,000.

The Purchasing Department will calculate Base Bid (Package A) plus/minus Base Bid Adjustment (Package B) to obtain the FINAL Base Bid for the CSP.

• No deviations are allowed in the base bid or base bid adjustment. Any deviation from the Base

• Bid shall be submitted as Alternate No. 2 on the Deviations Form. Evaluation of the proposed substitutes/deviations does not constitute Owner’s acceptance of the substitutes/deviations but can be considered during negotiations
