Central Plant Boiler # 2 Economizer Replacement

This is a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) issued by Texas State University for the replacement of a boiler economizer at the Central Plant on its San Marcos campus. The scope of work includes providing general construction, mechanical, and electrical services to replace the boiler economizer, as well as replacing boiler feedwater and economizer air instrumentation and integrating the new instrumentation into the existing control systems. The project has a total construction cost limitation of $615,000 and a target substantial completion date of August 1, 2024. Proposals are due by February 20, 2024, at 2:00 pm CST, and the university will select the contractor offering the "best value" based on 60% pricing and 40% qualifications. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference will be held on January 31, 2024.

The project is located within the jurisdictions of Hays County and the City of San Marcos, Texas. The university requires a HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Subcontracting Plan to be submitted separately by February 21, 2024, with a 21.1% HUB goal for building construction. Payment terms are net 30 days, and the university has certain state-mandated requirements related to franchise tax status, workers' compensation insurance, prevailing wage rates, and background checks for contractor personnel. Pricing for the project is limited to a lump-sum amount, and the university reserves the right to divide the project, reject any or all proposals, and temporarily or permanently abandon the project. No incumbent contractor is identified, and the procurement is funded by the university.
