Bidders must submit electronic responses by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on June 11, 2026, either via email to DPS_Solicit_Response@dps.texas.gov or through the DPS Online Bid Room. A pre-bid site visit is strongly encouraged (though not mandatory) and is scheduled for May 22, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. at the Conroe office location to allow bidders to assess the project scope. The contract commences upon execution and expires on August 31, 2026, with DPS reserving the right to extend performance for no more than six months for re-advertising or contract transition purposes, with an anticipated contract award date of June 19, 2026. Responses must remain valid for 180 days from the solicitation opening date of May 11, 2026. Bids will be evaluated on a best value standard in accordance with Texas Government Code §2156.007, and contractors must provide evidence of financial resources and ability to perform, including audited financial statements for the previous two years or alternative financial documentation such as a Dun & Bradstreet report. The scope of work encompasses the office refresh project with a base project total and two optional alternates available for vendor consideration; all pricing must be submitted on a job-basis unit of measure in the mandatory pricing schedule format, representing the contractor's sole compensation with no minimum guaranteed payment, and all costs, fees, licenses, and expenses for delivery and performance must be included in the bid.

The procurement contains prevailing wage requirements pursuant to Texas Government Code Chapter 2258, applicable to this state-funded project, with prevailing wage rates established by job classification and skill level that are mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors. Contractors are subject to criminal history background checks for project personnel at the contractor's expense. If the contract exceeds $100,000, a performance bond is required, and if it exceeds $25,000, a payment bond must be provided before work begins; bond costs are included in the base bid. DPS reserves the right to withhold 10% retainage from final payment until all work is accepted and required warranty and equipment documentation are provided. All vendors must comply with extensive federal and state requirements including E-Verify employment verification, drug-free workplace standards, background checks, compliance with the Texas Public Information Act, child support compliance, and certification regarding boycott restrictions, conflicts of interest, debarment status, and equal employment opportunity assurances; failure to complete and submit the required Information and Certifications Form may result in disqualification. Vendors must also establish direct deposit accounts for electronic funds transfer payment, maintain business continuity and disaster recovery plans, and comply with all prevailing wage rate documentation and payroll requirements. No specific incumbent vendors or award values are identified in the solicitation materials; however, the contract is structured to accommodate annual price adjustments or escalations across the five-year contract term referenced in the pricing schedule.
