Harmony School of Innovation – El Paso Dyer Elementary

Harmony Public Schools is requesting sealed bids for ground-up construction of a 54,659-square-foot elementary school facility at the Harmony School of Innovation–El Paso Dyer campus, with proposals due September 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CST via the HPS e-bid system. The project is subject to federal Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements and federal certifications under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act — key compliance filters for bidders.

The scope encompasses structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low-voltage, roofing, glazing, finishes, parking lot, kitchen, landscaping, subdivision improvements, and street dedication with illumination across 31 divisions of work as detailed in the technical specifications. Proposers must demonstrate experience as prime contractors on similar school construction projects, maintain adequate financial resources, present a satisfactory safety record, and obtain payment and performance bonds. All permit costs, inspection fees, and bonding costs must be included in the bid.

The estimated project budget is $17 million. The contract term runs from anticipated execution by October 26, 2026 through substantial completion by March 1, 2028, with liquidated damages of $2,000 per calendar day for delays beyond the completion deadline. Proposers must submit a base bid and four alternate bids covering Tubular Daylighting Devices, 80 Mil TPO Roofing, 60 Mil TPO Roofing, and Electrical Switchgear Expediting.

Prequalification requires submission of OSHA inspection logs for the prior three years, insurance loss analysis and history, bonding eligibility letters, and evidence of registration in good standing with the State of Texas. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 8, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CST via Microsoft Teams (attendance encouraged but not mandatory). Questions are due September 16, 2026 by 2:00 p.m. CST. HPS reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and withdraw the solicitation at any time; contract execution is contingent upon Board of Directors approval.
