The City of Corpus Christi is requesting price quotes for painting services at La Retama Central Library's atrium, located at 805 Comanche Street, with quotes due August 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time. A mandatory pre-bid job walk is scheduled for July 29, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. at the first floor in front of the Kiosk structure.

The scope encompasses atrium ceiling and wall painting, including surface preparation, coverings, waste disposal, material procurement, equipment acquisition, mobilization and demobilization, permit acquisition, inspections, and punch-list completion. Paint products must meet minimum specifications for mold and mildew resistance and low odor for interior application, with KILZ primer required and eggshell enamel topcoat meeting the same standards; the City's Project Manager will provide the paint color. The contract term is 45 calendar days from executed Service Agreement issuance, encompassing all work necessary for project completion.

Bidders must submit all-inclusive pricing for labor, tools, materials, equipment, and waste disposal on the City's Quote Form without modifications, with all blanks completed and signatures affixed. The City is tax-exempt and does not require sales tax in quoted pricing. Submission is via the City's Supplier Portal or sealed hard copy to City Hall, 1st Floor, 1201 Leopard Street. Work must be performed during normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.), with at least three days' notice for weekend work.

Before work commences, contractors must obtain and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, Auto Liability of $500,000 combined single limit, and Workers' Compensation coverage at statutory limits with employer's liability of $500,000/$500,000/$500,000. One-year warranty coverage on all labor, workmanship, parts, materials, and equipment is required. Final invoicing requires submission of warranty letters, manufacturer warranty documents, Certificate of Completion of permit, and any applicable Certificate of Occupancy. The City will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on quality, adaptability, and the contractor's ability, capacity, experience, efficiency, integrity, and financial responsibility.
