Design Build Project for HVAC Improvements District-Wide (Phase I)

Weslaco Independent School District is requesting qualification statements for a design-build HVAC improvements project district-wide (Phase I), with statements due October 20, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Central Time. The selection process is two-step: the School Board will select up to five qualified vendors in Phase I; only those selected vendors will advance to Phase II.

Qualification statements must be submitted electronically through IONWAVE/EUNA. A virtual opening via Google Meet will occur on the deadline date, at which vendor names will be announced publicly. Vendor selection will follow at a public school board meeting.

Respondents must submit comprehensive packages including cover letter, company strength and capacity documentation, team competence and experience details, HVAC design experience, a list of five similar projects completed within the last five years using the design-build method, minimum five references, project methodology, financial statements, felony conviction notification, confidential disclosure forms, and non-collusion signature sheets. Firms must also complete a W9 form and provide insurance certificates. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all terms and conditions, provide safety and OSHA compliance documentation, and confirm bonding capacity. Optional designations include LEED certification, DBIA certification, Women/Minority/Small/Disadvantaged Business status, and HUB certification.

All respondents must affirm compliance with a non-communication clause prohibiting contact with Weslaco ISD Board members or staff regarding the submission. The District approved the design-build method during a Regular Board Meeting on August 17, 2026.
