All responding vendors must submit a completed State of Texas Subcontracting Plan demonstrating good faith effort to recruit certified Veteran Heroes United in Business (VetHUB) vendors for identified subcontracting opportunities, though VetHUB certification will not be used in vendor selection.

The scope includes on-an-as-needed electrical maintenance and repair services—transformer evaluation and repair, high-voltage equipment work, and emergency response within a two-hour window.

The contractor must maintain records for four years post-completion and deliver professional-quality services free from material defects.

The contract term is two years from execution with an option to renew for three additional one-year terms if both parties agree in writing. Contract execution is anticipated by September 25, 2026, with work beginning October 1, 2026. Pricing must include straight-time and overtime hourly rates for various electrician classifications, equipment rental rates, and material mark-up percentages with renewal escalation rates. The University's standard service agreement caps total compensation at one million dollars unless preapproved by the Board of Regents.

Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Automobile coverage of $1 million per occurrence, with Lamar University named as an Additional Insured.
