Opportunity Home San Antonio is seeking qualified independent contractors to perform foundation inspection, evaluation, repair, and stabilization for four residential units (2420, 2422, 2424, and 2426 Chihuahua St.) at Cassiano Homes in San Antonio, Texas. The Invitation for Bids (IFB #2511-5634) requires contractors to conduct foundation repairs on approximately 1,073 square feet per unit, utilizing either driven or helical steel piers, and performed by a Certified Foundation Repair Specialist or Registered Professional Engineer. Contractors must complete pre- and post-leveling static tests of sewer systems and pressure tests of water delivery systems. Key qualification requirements include three years of foundation repair experience, references from five similar clients within the past two years, and submission of fully burdened pricing for labor, materials, equipment, and associated costs. The solicitation timeline includes questions due by December 18, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., and bids due January 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with anticipated board approval in April 2026 and project completion within 60 days of mobilization. Bidders must submit responses through the Bonfire E-Procurement portal and provide a 5% bid guarantee.

The contract includes several set-aside and compliance requirements, particularly focusing on Section 3 and Small, Women, and Minority Business Enterprise (SWMBE) participation. Contractors must meet Section 3 goals of 30% low-income resident hiring and 10% subcontracting for Section 3 businesses, with additional requirements to achieve 25% labor hours from Section 3 Workers and 5% from Targeted Section 3 Workers. SWMBE utilization goals are also mandated, with contractors required to submit M/WBE Utilization Statements demonstrating good faith efforts. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement with potential extension at Opportunity Home's discretion, and Davis-Bacon wage rates will apply. Contractors must provide 100% Performance and Payment Bonds within ten days of contract execution and offer a minimum five-year warranty on stabilization work and two-year warranty on other work. Liquidated damages of $100 per day will be assessed for delays beyond the completion date. While a specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive requirements suggest a substantial public infrastructure rehabilitation project focused on preserving affordable housing assets.
