This is Addendum 1 to an Invitation for Bids issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Procurement and Contract Services for comprehensive renovation and remodeling services at two facilities in Waco, Texas: a radio shop and gymnasium located at 1617 East Crest Drive. The addendum, effective April 3, 2026, updates the Statement of Work and includes five key documents: a summary of work for both facilities, an exercise equipment floor plan, a mandatory site visit sign-in sheet, a mandatory pricing sheet, and an updated schedule of events. Bidders were required to conduct a mandatory site visit on March 31, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST, submit written questions by April 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM CST, and submit bids electronically no later than April 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM CST. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum prior to the bid submission deadline through one of three methods: completing and returning three copies of the addendum, acknowledging receipt on each copy of the offer submitted, or submitting a separate letter or email referencing the solicitation and addendum numbers. Failure to provide timely acknowledgment may result in bid rejection.

The contract encompasses interior renovation work at both facilities, including exterior door and panel replacement, thermal insulation installation, wall repairs and finishing, epoxy flooring, electrical upgrades compliant with the National Electrical Code, HVAC modifications, and painting with specified finishes, with an alternate scope involving resilient athletic flooring installation for the gym. All work must be performed by qualified craftspeople with a minimum of three years of experience, comply with the International Building Code and state and local codes, and be completed during regular business hours (7:00 AM to 5:00 PM weekdays) with weekend work available by prior approval. Bidders must submit references for at least three comparable projects, provide a one-year warranty covering 100 percent of new materials and labor, obtain all required permits at contractor expense, and submit detailed construction schedules with weekly updates. The contract term commences on the effective date and expires one year from that date, with DPS reserving the right to extend for an additional six-month period. A 10 percent retainage will be withheld from final payment until all work is accepted and warranty documentation is provided. Bidders must comply with Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting plan requirements, utilize prevailing wage rates per Texas Government Code Chapter 2258, and may be subject to performance and payment bonds for contracts exceeding $100,000 and $25,000, respectively, with bond costs included in the bid. Bids must remain valid for 180 days after the solicitation opening, and DPS will evaluate all bids based on best value.
