Gregg County, Texas has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #2025-21 for General Contractor Services to renovate and expand the Precinct 2 Justice Facility located at 800 Gilmer Road in Longview. The project involves completely remodeling an existing 3,489 square foot building and adding approximately 3,923 square feet of new construction, resulting in a total 7,411 square foot facility. The renovation will house the County Tax Assessor Offices, Precinct 2 Commissioner, Constable, and Justice of the Peace offices, with a comprehensive scope including removal of interior walls, updating exterior facades, and installing new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology infrastructure. The RFP requires a detailed proposal including a cover letter, company profile, project qualifications, proposed project team, project approach, and cost proposal. Evaluation criteria will allocate points across several categories: cover letter and business profile (5 points), experience and qualifications (20 points), proposed project team (10 points), project approach and timeline (10 points), proposed project cost (50 points), and RFP compliance (5 points), totaling 100 possible points. The project is scheduled for completion within 300 days, with proposal submissions due by 2:00 PM CST on Monday, August 18, 2025, and the RFP question deadline extended to Friday, August 15, 2025 at 12:00 PM.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard local government procurement practices typically encourage minority business participation. The project includes a $50,000 contingency amount and allows for two alternate bids: a patio fence enclosure and a pneumatic tube system. Tegrity Contractors, Inc. has already submitted a base bid of $4,452,777, with additional bond fees of $47,000, bringing the total base bid to $4,549,777. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining existing infrastructure, including the current vacuum tube system, with potential equipment replacements. The project requires compliance with multiple building codes, including the 2012 International Building Code, and adherence to Texas Accessibility Standards. Existing technology infrastructure will need integration, with specific provisions for data cabling, wireless access points, network racks, patch panels, fiber optic connections, and emergency responder radio systems. The total project budget appears to be approximately $4.5-5 million, with potential variations based on alternate bid selections and final negotiated terms.
