About this file
This is a training document related to a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for Water Improvements at El Paso Psychiatric Center (Project No. 24-001-EPC). The project seeks a general contractor to design and construct an additional domestic water service line to bring the facility into compliance with International Plumbing Code standards. The scope includes installation of new domestic water service from an existing 8-inch water main along Boll Place through a new meter vault and pressure reducing valve to final connections inside the building at 4615 Alameda Avenue in El Paso, Texas. Key dates include a pre-proposal webinar on May 12, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, a mandatory facility site visit on May 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, a question deadline of May 26, 2026, by 5:00 p.m. Central Time, and proposals due by June 16, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time with public opening on June 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The anticipated Notice of Award is September 16, 2026, with a contract start date of October 16, 2026, and project completion no later than August 31 of the following year, with HHSC retaining the discretionary right to extend the contract for up to six additional months beyond final substantial completion.
The project is valued at approximately $300,000 with evaluation criteria weighted as follows: Relevant Construction Services Ability and Experience (30%), Quality and Safety Programs (5%), Proposed Methodology (25%), and Pricing (40%), with award on a best-value basis to the lowest-priced qualified respondent. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of five years of business experience in similar construction projects and submit three references from comparable projects. A Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan is mandatory with a utilization goal of 32.9%, applicable to all respondents regardless of HUB certification status. Bid security equal to at least 5% of the Total Base Proposal Cost is required, with performance and payment bonds required in the amount of 100% of the contract price within ten calendar days of contract award. The contractor must budget a $45,000 contingency fund for external utility coordination with El Paso Water and must achieve Substantial Completion within 120 calendar days of Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $150.00 per calendar day for delays. The contractor must maintain Pollution Liability Insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $1,000,000 aggregate for a ten-year period following project completion.
