HP&E Bathrooms Remodel

Texas Southern University (TSU) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) #717-25-718 for a comprehensive bathroom remodeling project within the Health and Physical Education (HP&E) Building located in Harris County. The procurement involves renovating twelve restrooms across three building levels, with specific requirements including replacement of toilets, urinals, and sinks using Sloan or Chicago fixtures, installing new light fixtures, toilet partitions, countertops, tile flooring, wall tile, and toilet accessories. The project requires vendors to submit one original and one copy of their bid response, accompanied by a flash drive containing the bid documentation. The bid deadline is set for 1:00 p.m. Central time on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting and walkthrough scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in the HP&E Building main lobby. TSU will evaluate bids using best value considerations, which encompass proposed costs, contractor stability, quality of goods and services, delivery terms, and past performance, with bid pricing to remain firm for 90 days from the bid deadline.

The solicitation includes provisions for potential vendor preferences under the State of Texas Procurement Manual, with potential opportunities for historically underutilized businesses (HUB) and Texas-based vendors. Bidders will be required to comply with equal opportunity requirements and may need to submit a State of Texas HUB Subcontracting Plan. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the project involves a comprehensive interior renovation across multiple building levels. The university's standard terms and conditions mandate vendor compliance with various state and federal regulations, including antitrust laws, immigration guidelines, and ethical standards. Vendors must also provide certifications regarding employment practices, criminal history, and attestations that they are not affiliated with terrorist organizations. The procurement allows for potential contract amendments and includes protections for university property, with the ultimate goal of completing a thorough bathroom renovation that meets TSU's specifications and quality standards.
