Equipment Shed at Rusk State Hospital

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is soliciting bids for the construction of an equipment shed at the Rusk State Hospital. The project involves the jurisdictions of Cameron County and Cherokee County. The scope of work requires the contractor to construct a 30 ft. by 75 ft. metal structure with a sloped roof, sheet metal on one side and back, and a color scheme to match the existing facility. The contractor will be responsible for all materials, labor, and disposal of any demolition waste. There is a mandatory on-site visit scheduled for May 21 and 22, 2024, and responses are due by May 31, 2024. The anticipated contract start date is upon award, and the contract term is through August 31, 2024, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The agency will evaluate bids based on the contractor's ability to meet requirements, delivery timelines, and pricing.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, the agency encourages the use of historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) and will monitor performance throughout the contract term. The provided information does not indicate any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range or possible award value for this project is not disclosed.
