3202600107 Mopac Print Shop Upgrades Services

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is soliciting proposals for the Mopac Print Shop Upgrades Services project, located at 12312 North MoPac Expressway in Austin, Texas. The procurement involves providing and installing a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), replacing ceiling and flooring tiles, and performing ductwork modifications in an unoccupied building. Contractors must have at least three years of experience in Commercial HVAC Installation within the past 10 years and submit a Financial Soundness Questionnaire. The evaluation criteria include cost (40 points), past project performance with three references (30 points), project milestone schedule (20 points), and pre-proposal conference attendance (10 points). Key project dates include a pre-proposal conference on November 24, 2025, at 9:30 AM Central Time, with written questions due by November 26, 2025, at 5:00 PM. The proposal submission deadline is January 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time through the TWC Procurement Portal, with an anticipated notice of intent on January 15, 2026, and a projected contract start date of February 15, 2026.

The project has a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan with a goal of 32.9 percent for special trade construction contracts. Respondents must complete a HUB Subcontracting Plan, either demonstrating all subcontracting work will be awarded to HUBs (Method A) or providing good faith effort documentation (Method B). Additional requirements include obtaining performance bonds and maintaining insurance coverage as specified in the contract attachments. The project manual includes detailed specifications for mechanical, electrical, and interior construction work, with environmental controls and site protection mandates. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project requires coordination with existing building occupants during partial facility operations. Although a precise budget is not explicitly stated, the cost proposal form includes an Owners Allowance of $147,122.66, suggesting this as a potential baseline for project funding. Liquidated damages of $500 per day may be assessed for contract breaches, and retainage will be withheld from progress payments.
