Childcare Services at HCC’s Central Campus

The Houston Community College System (HCC) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide Laboratory Childcare School Services at its Central Campus in Houston, Texas. The scope of work may vary in size and complexity, and HCC reserves the right to award separate contracts to multiple contractors. The awarded contractor will be responsible for all costs associated with operating the school, including staffing, equipment, supplies, and facilities management. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for January 18, 2024, and proposals are due by January 31, 2024. HCC anticipates awarding the contract in April 2024 for an initial term of three years, with options to renew for two additional one-year terms. The RFP outlines pricing requirements, including that the awarded contractor must provide childcare services to HCC students at an appropriately priced cost to meet the needs of the community. HCC offers funding for childcare assistance and will give priority access to childcare services at a discounted rate for HCC faculty, staff, and students.

The contract opportunity involves the jurisdictions of Harris County and the City of Houston, Texas. The RFP details small business participation requirements and outlines the facility responsibilities of the awarded contractor, such as providing janitorial services and pest control. While the RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, it does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The anticipated award value or budget range is not provided in the available information.
