Furnish and Install Storm Shutters across multiple facilities at Sea Rim State Park

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the furnishing and installation of storm shutters at multiple facilities within Sea Rim State Park in Jefferson County, Texas. This procurement requires contractors to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, tools, and supervision to install storm shutters and make identified park facilities storm-ready. Qualified bidders must demonstrate at least three successful projects of similar size, scope, and complexity completed within the past five years and provide verifiable references. A mandatory site visit is required for all prospective bidders to inspect work conditions, perform precise window and door measurements, and become familiar with site-specific requirements; only bidders whose names appear on the site visit sign-in sheet are eligible to submit bids. The bid submission deadline is 2:00 PM Central Time on May 28, 2026, with bids to be submitted via email. The contract shall commence upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed and continue through August 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier. Work must be completed during regular business hours (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday), with the jobsite cleaned daily, and the contractor must provide manufacturer's warranties on all installed products and warrant materials and labor for one year.

The procurement includes specific insurance and performance requirements, including a mandatory Certificate of Insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability per occurrence and $1,000,000 Automobile Liability combined single limit, and compliance with all OSHA safety regulations and prevailing wage rates established by TPWD. Bid security of five percent of the total bid amount is required for contracts exceeding $25,000, with ten percent retainage withheld until all work is accepted and warranty documentation is provided. Contractors are subject to liquidated damages of $500 per week for failure to complete work within the agreed timeframe. The procurement document does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on organizational types, incumbent vendors, or a defined award value or budget range; however, TPWD reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities prior to award based on bid results and budget constraints, and the contract is contingent upon continued availability of funding.
