The City of Leander is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for selective renovation work on the Historic Mason Homestead located at 1101 South Bagdad Road, Leander, Texas 78641, with one contract to be awarded to a qualified individual, firm, or corporation. The scope of work encompasses site demolition and concrete paving replacement (approximately 2,765 square feet of removal and 2,764 square feet of new installation), exterior stone cleaning and limestone splash block installation, porch framing and component reconstruction, replacement of seven wood windows and one front entrance door, installation of new chimney caps and gutters, interior flooring replacement, exterior and interior painting, HVAC unit replacement, plumbing work including water heater replacement and gas line capping, and electrical work to support new equipment installations. Respondents must demonstrate proper licensing and compliance with all federal, state, and local laws, including historical restoration regulations. The evaluation committee will assess proposals using weighted criteria: Respondent's Solution and Program (30 points), Experience and Expertise of Personnel (30 points), and Pricing (40 points), with references rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. Key submission requirements include three to five references from similar projects completed within the last three years, a detailed project timeline, qualifications of key personnel, a completed Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and a Business Questionnaire with pricing submitted on the provided Bid Sheet using line-item and lump-sum formats. A mandatory pre-solicitation meeting is scheduled for May 19, 2026 at 10:00 AM on-site, with the RFP deadline of June 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM via the City's Bonfire e-Procurement Portal; anticipated interviews are scheduled for the week of June 22-26, 2026, with an anticipated award date of June 30, 2026 and substantial project completion by September 30, 2026.

No set-asides or restrictions on organization types are specified in this procurement, meaning all qualified vendors including small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, and disadvantaged enterprises are eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Payment and Performance Bonds are required as part of the project contract. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and incidental items necessary to complete the work. The RFP documentation does not specify an award value or budget range; however, the comprehensive scope of renovation work suggests a substantial contract value typical of historic preservation projects of this scale. The City reserves the right to reject any or all responses, negotiate with the most responsive respondent, or accept any response deemed most advantageous to the City's interests.
