Building Repairs at San Antonio State Supported Living Center (SASSLC)

Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Procurement and Contracting Services is soliciting bids under Invitation for Bid HHS0018173 for building repairs at San Antonio State Supported Living Center, with a mandatory on-site visit on November 11, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. and bids due December 1, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Failure to attend the site visit results in disqualification. The procurement is issued on behalf of the Health and Human Services system, including the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), which is entitled to use any awarded contract.

Scope covers sealing ceiling and wall penetrations with Hilti firestop sealant, taping and floating sheetrock stress cracks and ceiling holes, replacing uneven sheetrock patches, filling small concrete floor holes, replacing broken brick, and repairing and sealing attic access panels across eleven specified buildings and rooms at 6711 S. New Braunfels, San Antonio, Texas 78223. Services run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, with outside-hours pricing required, a four-hour response for service calls, and a one-hour response for emergencies.

Minimum qualifications require three years of bidder experience and two years for assigned personnel, plus three verifiable references for similar services within the past three years on Exhibit D. Contractor personnel must pass Texas Department of Public Safety criminal and sex offender background checks before starting work. Required insurance includes $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability, $1,000,000 commercial automobile liability, $1,000,000 professional liability, $1,000,000 umbrella liability, and workers' compensation with $1,000,000 employer's liability per accident. A HUB Subcontracting Plan is encouraged but not required.

Bidders must submit firm, fixed pricing on Exhibit C covering labor, equipment, materials, and supplies, along with a full project completion price with best and worst case scenarios. Price adjustments are permitted only under Bureau of Labor Statistics indices or federal minimum wage increases, at HHSC's sole discretion. Exhibit A affirmations and the Exhibit C pricing sheet are mandatory, and omitting either results in disqualification.

The initial term runs from award through August 31, 2027, with one optional one-year extension at HHSC's sole discretion. HHSC reserves the right to make single or multiple awards on a best-value basis considering bidder qualifications, ability to meet performance requirements, and price. Awards require executive commissioner approval, and no volume or compensation is guaranteed.

Questions are due November 16, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., with responses posted as an addendum on November 19, 2026. Bidders may submit through the optional HHS Online Bid Room, which requires IAMOnline registration that may take several days, and technical difficulties with electronic submission are not grounds for protest.
