This is an Addendum Acknowledgement Form issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Procurement and Contracting Services for IFB HHS0018056, which solicits fencing and hardware materials for Brenham State Supported Living Center. The solicitation addresses an inquiry regarding whether contractor labor would be needed to install the fencing materials, with the addendum clarifying that no labor is required as the facility will install the fence themselves. Responses were due November 12, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. The scope includes 250 ornamental welded fence panels, 252 steel posts, 252 post caps, 1,000 fence rail brackets, and one freight lot. The contract term runs from November 16, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with an optional one-year renewal at the HHSC's sole discretion. Bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and returning it with their solicitation response, or by emailing it to pcsbids@hhsc.state.tx.us prior to the due date; failure to acknowledge could result in disqualification.

Bidders must submit firm, fixed unit prices covering all labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and related expenses, with delivery due within 14 days of order receipt on an F.O.B. Destination basis with freight prepaid and included in the bid price or with exact delivery costs shown. Price adjustments may be permitted based on CPI-W, CPI-U, or federal minimum wage changes subject to HHSC approval, though contractors may propose price decreases at any time. Submissions were accepted via email to pcsbids@hhsc.state.tx.us, through the optional HHS Online Bid Room, or by hand delivery or overnight mail of a USB drive. A HUB subcontracting plan was optional but encouraged where subcontracting opportunities existed. Bidders proposing alternative brands or part numbers were required to submit supporting literature or risk non-consideration for award. Questions were due November 3, 2026, with answers posted as an addendum on November 6, 2026.
