Modular Building Lease

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is seeking a long-term lease for three modular buildings located in Riviera, Queen City, and San Marcos, Texas. The solicitation, posted on November 20, 2025, requires vendors to provide modular buildings with specific dimensions: Riviera (36ft X 48ft), Queen City (60ft X 60ft), and San Marcos (72ft X 60ft). The scope of work encompasses furnishing and installing foundations, ensuring ADA-compliant access, completing all utility connections (electrical, water, sewer, and data conduit), providing maintenance and repair services throughout the lease term, and removing the buildings at lease expiration. Bidders must submit detailed pricing on a mandatory schedule broken down by year for each location across the initial term and optional renewal periods, with separate line items for building removal services. The contract requires contractors to maintain buildings in good repair, including wall and ceiling repairs, foundation and mold remediation, painting, window glass replacement, roof leak repairs, and HVAC maintenance. Written questions were due by November 27, 2025, with bids required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on December 5, 2025, either via email to DPS_Solicit_Response@dps.texas.gov or through the DPS Online Bid Room. The anticipated contract award date is December 19, 2025, with an initial contract term from March 1, 2026, through August 31, 2030, and options for two additional 5-year renewal periods.

While the solicitation is advertised under Texas Government Code Section 2155.067 as a sole source or proprietary procurement, DPS encourages responses from all qualified vendors capable of meeting specifications. Bidders must provide evidence of financial resources, including audited financial statements demonstrating solvency and capability. Contractors will be required to complete a Certificate of Interested Parties (TEC Form 1295), comply with Buy Texas preferences, and undergo fingerprint-based criminal history background investigations. The contract includes provisions for prompt payment discounts and requires submission of Direct Deposit Authorization Forms and W-9 documentation. Although no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes compliance with non-discrimination provisions and equal opportunity requirements. The contract does not guarantee minimum compensation, with payment contingent upon DPS approval and acceptance of commodities and services. Contract administration will be overseen by Ricardo Montalvo as Contract Administrator, with Christopher Henderson serving as the Contract Monitor. The initial contract term runs through August 31, 2030, with potential extensions through August 31, 2040, providing significant long-term opportunities for the selected vendor.
