About this file
This is Amendment No. 1 to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Contracts and Procurement Department, for the replacement of 34 duct heating units at the Plane Unit in Dayton, Texas. The amendment addresses clarifications regarding the scope of work, which involves procuring and installing variable air volume (VAV) boxes and fan-powered boxes (FPB) rather than standard duct heaters, along with associated controls, disconnects, and installation services. The original bid opening date of May 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM has been revised to May 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The amendment provides responses to eleven bidder questions concerning equipment specifications, including duct inlet sizes, box voltages, kilowatt ratings, primary and heating airflows, motor sizes for fan-powered units, and heat sizes for all 34 boxes. The TDCJ specifies that new controls will be required (not existing controls), new electrical disconnects will be installed with WIP lines, and the terminal units consist of a mixture of single-duct and fan-powered boxes, with some containing motors and others without. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment with their bid submission to receive consideration.
The amendment references attached technical drawings and photographs that provide detailed specifications for duct sizes and equipment configurations for the medical and education buildings. All questions and answers provided in the amendment are directly tied to engineering specifications and equipment compatibility, indicating the TDCJ has clarified technical requirements to enable accurate bid preparation. Bidders are required to reference the attached documentation to understand equipment requirements fully. The contract requires commercial general liability insurance of $1 million general aggregate with $500,000 per occurrence limits and automobile liability coverage of $500,000 combined single limit, with a payment bond required for bids exceeding $25,000. The project timeline extends from a June 28, 2026, commencement date to an October 11, 2026, completion deadline. No specific budget amount is disclosed in the amendment, and no Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting set-asides are available for this procurement.
