Roofing, Waterproofing, and Masonry

This is a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) for Roofing, Waterproofing, and Masonry services jointly issued by Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) and Choice Partners (CP), a national cooperative purchasing program, with proposals due February 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time via the HCDE eBid System. The solicitation encompasses two distinct components—a maintenance component procured under Texas Education Code Section 44.031 and a Job Order Contracting (JOC) component procured under Texas Government Code Chapter 2269—and vendors must respond to both components to be considered responsive. The procuring agencies seek specialized, self-performing roofing, waterproofing, and masonry contractors capable of providing maintenance, repair, alteration, renovation, remediation, and minor construction services across Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) MasterFormat divisions including concrete, masonry, metals, wood/plastics/composites, thermal and moisture protection, and exterior improvements. Required qualifications include the ability to maintain minimum annual sales of $15,000, comply with prevailing wage and bonding requirements, maintain appropriate insurance coverage with HCDE and CP members named as additional insureds, and participate in at least three marketing events annually. For the maintenance component, vendors must submit time-and-materials pricing with hourly labor rates and material/equipment discounts, while JOC component pricing requires coefficients applied to established unit price books (BNi, eConverge TruePriceData, RS Means, Sierra West Publishing, and Xactimate) that encompass all overhead, profit, administrative fees, permits, and design oversight costs. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting and unit price book training are scheduled for January 14, 2026, with contract award anticipated for April 15, 2026, and the initial contract term consisting of one calendar year with automatic renewals for up to three additional one-year terms plus an optional 90-day transitional period.

The solicitation document does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions based on disadvantaged enterprise status or specific organization type classifications. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The maximum annual aggregate contract price for all awards under this CSP across the entire CP cooperative program is established at $200 million, though no guarantee of quantities is provided to individual vendors. Pricing must remain firm for the contract term with changes permitted only during renewal periods and in extraordinary circumstances no more than once every 180 days; HCDE/CP will invoice vendors for a 2 percent administrative fee based on total sales, with administrative fees required to be remitted within 30 days. All work must comply with federal regulations including EDGAR and the Buy American Act, prevailing wage requirements, and performance and payment bond requirements, with funding sources including federal School Nutrition Program funds and state/grant funds, necessitating vendor compliance with all associated compliance and reporting requirements.
