IFB - RFC 211859-25-01 Interior Finish Out, Roma AEM Lab

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is procuring an interior finish out project for the Roma AEM Lab located at 2654 N. US 83 in Roma, Texas. This Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicits qualified contractors to complete a comprehensive interior renovation project with an estimated project cost of $135,969.29. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 2, 2024, at 1:30 PM CT, followed by a site visit at 2:00 PM CT at the project location. Contractors must submit proposals electronically through the Bonfire online platform by January 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM CT, with a required bid guaranty/bid bond of $3,000.00. Interested bidders must download procurement documentation from TxDOT's Bonfire platform, with Package 1 (Contract Documents) requiring return with the proposal. Request for Information (RFI) questions are due by December 9, 2024, and the bid opening will occur at TxDOT State Headquarters in Austin, Texas.

The procurement includes specific requirements for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), mandating that contractors submitting projects valued at $100,000 or greater must include a HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) with their proposal. While pre-qualification of contractors is waived for this opportunity, bidders must comply with Uniform General Conditions outlined in the proposal documents. The project does not require specialized pre-qualification, but contractors must carefully follow all submission guidelines, including acknowledging addenda and submitting complete proposal packages. Failure to meet these requirements may result in bid rejection. The estimated project budget of $135,969.29 suggests this is a medium-sized interior renovation project, with potential for local and small business participation. All bids will be publicly opened, though only successful bids will be read aloud, and the Texas Transportation Commission reserves the right to reject any or all proposals.
