Ft. Worth 1st Floor Restroom Renovation

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is seeking proposals for the renovation of first-floor restrooms at the TWC Fort Worth North Texas Tele-Center located at 301 W. 13th Street in Fort Worth, Texas. The project involves comprehensive renovations to bring two multi-stall restrooms into full ADA code compliance, which includes partial demolition, reconfiguration, upgrading finishes and fixtures, modifying HVAC systems, and installing electrical and plumbing infrastructure. Contractors must perform work in an occupied building with minimal operational disruption, using after-hours and weekend timelines. The Request for Proposals (RFP #3202600095) requires respondents to submit detailed documentation including a written narrative of qualifications, past project performance references, project milestone schedule, safety plan, and financial questionnaire. Key evaluation criteria include 40 points for cost/price, 30 points for past project performance, 15 points for pre-proposal conference attendance, 10 points for project milestone schedule, and 5 points for safety plan. Critical dates include a pre-proposal conference on January 14, 2026, written questions due January 20, 2026, and proposal submissions due February 24, 2026, by 10:00 a.m. Central Time.

The TWC has established a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) goal of 8.23% for this special trade construction contract, with a comprehensive HUB Subcontracting Plan required from all respondents. Contractors must have been in business for a minimum of three years within the past decade or have principals with relevant ownership or management experience in restroom renovations. The contract will have a 120-calendar-day term from Notice to Proceed to Substantial Completion, with an additional 90 days for administrative closeout. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the solicitation includes a $77,000 owner's allowance and requires contractors to provide comprehensive bonding and insurance coverage. Respondents must maintain a one-year contractor warranty and be prepared to handle potential asbestos abatement, with the TWC providing an Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) consultant for monitoring. The contract will be awarded based on the most advantageous proposal, with pricing to remain firm throughout the contract term and a 5% retainage to be withheld from each progress payment.
