About this file

This is a vendor registration and electronic bidding system notification from H-GAC (Houston-Galveston Area Council), a state and local procurement consortium in Texas, announcing their transition to an automated web-based bidding platform in partnership with OpenGov. The document provides guidance for respondents to register for free in H-GAC's Procurement Portal to submit bids and proposals and receive notifications of future opportunities, including the Refuse and Recycling Containers and Lifters solicitation. Vendors can access solicitations through the H-GAC website at https://www.h-gac.com/procurement and the OpenGov portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/h-gac.

The document establishes critical communication protocols and ethical requirements for the solicitation process. Direct communication between respondents and H-GAC employees other than the designated Solicitation Contact is strictly prohibited during a restricted period beginning on the solicitation issue date and continuing until contract execution for awarded respondents or the conclusion of the protest period for non-selected respondents. This restriction does not apply to communications during authorized pre-proposal conferences or bidders' meetings. Respondents are explicitly prohibited from offering gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value to H-GAC officials or evaluation committee members. Violations of these requirements may result in submission rejection in accordance with H-GAC Procurement Policy. Respondents must adhere to fair and competitive bidding standards to maintain the integrity of the procurement process.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: To ensure a fair and competitive environment, direct communication between H-GAC employees other than the Solicitation Contact or any party able to create an unfair advantage to Respondent or disadvantage to other Respondents with respect to the Solicitation process, or the award of a Contract is strictly prohibited. This restricted period of communication begins on the issue date of the Solicitation and for Respondent(s) not selected for award ends with the conclusion of the protest period identified in the Solicitation document and for Respondents(s) selected for award ends with the Contract execution. This restriction does not apply to communications to other H-GAC employees during a Pre-Proposal/Bid or Response conference or other situations where the Solicitation Contact has expressly authorized direct communications with other staff. A Respondent who intentionally violates this requirement of the Solicitation process or otherwise deliberately or unintentionally benefits from such a violation by another party may have its Submission rejected in accordance with H-GAC Procurement Policy. Respondent(s) will not offer any gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value to any official or employee of H-GAC

(including any and all members of the evaluation committee) for the purposes of influencing consideration of any Submission.
