Air Handler Unit and Heating System in K Building - Garza West Unit

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is seeking bids for the procurement, installation, and start-up of a replacement air handler unit (AHU-K6) and heating system at the Garza West Unit correctional facility in Beeville, Texas. The project involves the replacement of the existing approximately 40-foot long AHU-K6 unit, including new supply and return fans, gas heating, and associated electrical and control components. TDCJ has provided detailed specifications and design information for the replacement unit, which must match the original unit's performance and physical dimensions. The bid response is due on April 22, 2024, and the contract may include renewal options. Interested bidders must attend a mandatory site visit prior to submitting their proposal.

The procurement process includes a HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) requirement, where vendors must either meet or exceed the HUB subcontracting goals set by TDCJ, which range from 11.2% to 32.9% for various construction, professional services, and commodity categories. Vendors must submit the completed HSP alongside their bid response, and TDCJ approval is required for any changes to the HSP during the contract term. The contract will be awarded to the successful bidder based on a combination of price, past performance, quality, and other best value factors. The contract value or budget range is not explicitly stated in the provided documents.
