The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit qualified vendors for Appraisal and Legal New and Continuing Education Training Services for Appraisal Review Board (ARB) Members. The CPA seeks to obtain services that represent the best value for the agency and the State of Texas. The contract will require the successful respondents to provide a minimum of 5 sessions annually for both the 4-hour Continuing Education training and the 8-hour New ARB Member training, which can be delivered through live, telecast, online, or pre-recorded video methods. Proposals are due by September 13, 2024, and the initial contract term is from October 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, with CPA having the option to extend the contract for up to three additional one-year periods. Respondents will be evaluated based on their past performance, qualifications, experience (20%), compliance with CPA specifications (50%), and cost (30%).

The RFP requires respondents to complete a HUB Subcontracting Plan as part of their proposal and includes detailed data security requirements and provisions for liquidated damages in the event of the successful respondent's nonperformance. CPA reserves the right to award contracts to up to two successful respondents and may reissue the solicitation at any time. The anticipated contract value is not specified, but the RFP indicates that CPA seeks to obtain the best value for the agency and the State of Texas.
