ITB - Hydro-Insensitive High Density Polyurethane Foam Materials and Related Items for Harris County Precinct 3

Harris County is seeking bids for hydro-insensitive high-density polyurethane foam materials and related items for Precinct 3, with a contract term of one year beginning approximately February 1, 2026 and potential for four additional one-year renewals. The procurement is a competitive sealed bid solicitation for materials used in concrete slab raising and undersealing operations across various job sites. Contractors must have a minimum of three years of full-time experience using high-density polyurethane for concrete work, and must be prepared to demonstrate this through completed job references. A voluntary pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 16, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CST via Microsoft Teams, with all written questions required to be submitted through Bonfire by the specified deadline. The county reserves the right to award to multiple vendors (Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary) based on availability, and all pricing must be comprehensive, including labor, materials, equipment, and delivery costs.

Harris County is committed to engaging historically underutilized minority- and woman-owned businesses (M/WBEs) and expects vendors to make good faith efforts to meet established participation goals. The procurement requires vendors to complete a Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) and potentially provide bonds upon contract award. Vendors must be prepared to comply with the county's minimum wage policy of $21.65 per hour and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability. The county has set a requirement that a minimum of 25 percent of the work must be performed by the bidding contractor. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the county will evaluate bids on a lowest and best offer basis, with the flexibility to adjust quantities and potentially purchase more or less than projected. Contractors must also be prepared to use Harris County's internet-based e-Builder construction program management software and provide a one-year guarantee on all work performed.
