The work must be completed while the facility remains fully operational.

Required submittals include a 10 percent bid bond, proof of current insurance coverage (general liability and workers' compensation), three project references from similar completed projects, a completed W-9 form, and a signed Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) filed with the Texas Ethics Commission.
