Library Foundation Repair Project

The City of Schertz, Texas is soliciting bids under RFP 2026-005 for foundation repair of the City Library, with sealed bids due July 1, 2026 through the City's Bonfire e-procurement portal. The RFP imposes no set-aside or bidder-eligibility restriction, and the contract goes to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid.

The scope covers replacement of foundation soil retainer panels and restoration of surface and landscaping at 1400 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, Texas 78154. Work includes mobilization, traffic control, storm water pollution control, asphalt and concrete removal and replacement, irrigation installation, tree and plant landscaping, sodding, and hand rail installation across 23 base-bid line items, with estimated quantities from 1 to 936 units. Pricing is unit-based, with labor, materials, equipment, overhead, and profit included in each unit price. Contract documents comprise the Agreement, bonds, modified EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions, Supplementary Conditions, Specifications, and 19 drawing sheets.

Bid security is 5 percent of the maximum bid price. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are required at execution. Required insurance covers general liability, errors and omissions, motor vehicle liability, and workers' compensation. The contractor may retain specified subcontractors and suppliers only with the owner's written approval, and the owner may reject any proposed subcontractor with reasonable objection. Bids exclude Texas sales and use taxes because the City is tax-exempt.

Substantial completion is required within 240 calendar days after contract commencement, with final completion within 30 additional calendar days. Liquidated damages are $600 per day for failure to achieve substantial completion within the contract time. The contract is contingent on the City's available funding.
