This is a design image example exhibit for a solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety for the Legacy Hall Courtyard Display project. The file provides visual reference materials for the commemorative plaques that bidders must design and fabricate as part of this invitation for bid. The project requires the design, fabrication, and installation of three cast plaques: a 65-inch diameter cast bronze seal featuring a 3D prismatic star with dark oxide background and leatherette texture; a cast aluminum piece with 41 solid 8-inch letters in Times New Roman font spelling "INTEGRITY," "EXCELLENCE," "ACCOUNTABILITY," and "TEAMWORK" with black anodized finish; and a cast aluminum piece with two 6-inch prismatic stars. All plaques are specified as "or equal" alternatives, allowing vendors flexibility in material selection and manufacturing methods. Bids are due October 5, 2026, and must be submitted through the DPS Online Bid Room.

The procurement is structured as a lump-sum contract covering all design, materials, labor, and installation costs, with payment due upon final completion and acceptance. The specifications encourage the use of recycled materials in manufacture and packaging. Bidders must submit required documentation including the W-9, Texas DPS Information and Certifications Form, Form AP-152, and Direct Deposit Authorization Form. Vendors must comply with comprehensive DPS Standard Terms and Conditions, including E-Verify employment verification, drug-free workplace requirements, workers' compensation and unemployment insurance coverage, intellectual property transfer to the State of Texas, seven-year record retention requirements, background checks for personnel with facility access, and CJIS security compliance. DPS reserves the right to terminate the contract for convenience with 30 days' written notice, for fund unavailability without notice, or for failure to perform.
