Construction and Remodeling Services

The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), a public pension fund, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for commercial remodel and renovation services to be performed at all TRS properties. The locations include TRS's headquarters in Austin, as well as regional offices in Austin and El Paso. The contract will involve multiple construction and remodeling projects throughout the term of the contract, with the primary focus being the Austin headquarters. Respondents must have a minimum of 5 years' experience, the necessary personnel and equipment located within 1 hour of the Austin headquarters, and specific labor categories with a minimum of 2 employees each. The evaluation process includes an initial round, an optional presentation round, and an optional best and final offer round. TRS will award one or more indefinite quantity contracts with no minimum guarantees or purchase requirements. The initial contract term is 1 year with three 1-year renewal options.

The solicitation requires respondents to submit a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan, even if they are not subcontracting or are a HUB themselves. TRS has provided the annual HUB goals and identified possible HUB subcontracting opportunities related to the scope of work. Ongoing monitoring and reporting of HUB participation will be required after contract award. The procurement is open to all vendors who meet the mandatory requirements outlined in the RFP, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond.
