Installation of New Manufactured Housing Units Lake Livingston and Mission Tejas State Park

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the procurement and installation of two new manufactured housing units, specifically targeting Lake Livingston State Park and Mission Tejas State Park. The RFP seeks double-wide manufactured homes that are 2024 or newer models, measuring approximately 28' wide by 60' long, with 1,500-2,000 square feet of living space, featuring a minimum of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Prospective vendors must possess an active Manufactured Housing License and have a minimum of five years of business experience in the industry. The procurement process includes optional site visits scheduled from February 10-21, 2025, with questions due by February 12, 2025, and proposals required to be submitted by March 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. Evaluation criteria for the proposals will be weighted as follows: 35% for home quality and design, 30% for compensation and fees, 20% for delivery schedule and technical proposal, and 15% for vendor qualifications and experience. The contract will commence upon award and continue through final acceptance by TPWD, with a payment structure of 90% due upon successful delivery and installation, and the remaining 10% paid after utility connections and verification of operational components.

The RFP documentation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises or specific types of organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the provided documents. The procurement covers comprehensive installation requirements, including specifications for skirting, steps, and site preparation, with parks responsible for certain preparatory tasks like clearing low-hanging limbs and grading. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the RFP allows vendors to submit multiple delivery schedule options with corresponding pricing, indicating flexibility in approach and potential cost variations. The documents suggest an urgent need for project completion, which may influence vendor selection and pricing strategies. Vendors are expected to provide a complete solution including both the manufactured housing units and their installation, with detailed requirements for construction materials, appliances, and utility connections. The procurement is specifically targeted at Randall County, Texas, though the actual housing units will be located at Lake Livingston and Mission Tejas State Parks.
