All pricing must be submitted on a firm fixed-rate basis including delivery and installation. Vendors must provide one student table and chair, one teacher desk and chair, and any additional proposed items as samples.

Middle school construction is estimated for completion January 1, 2027, with all FFE delivery and installation required by March 1, 2027. The initial contract term is one year or until project completion, with no minimum guaranteed purchase amounts. No price increases are permitted within the first 12 months; any subsequent adjustments must be requested 90 days in advance and are limited to five percent annually, indexed to the Consumer Price Index-Urban Areas or prevailing wage rates.

Contractors must maintain workers' compensation insurance, general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $2,000,000 for property damage, and automobile liability of $100,000 per occurrence. Contractors must comply with federal compliance requirements applicable when federal funds are expended, including Davis-Bacon Act compliance for contracts exceeding $2,000, equal employment opportunity provisions, and debarment certifications. Proposals remain open for acceptance for 120 days from closing. The CTPA cooperative purchasing vehicle is available to other Central Texas member districts at the same or better pricing.
