Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Procurement and Contracting Services division solicited bids under Invitation for Bid HHS0017159 (Project 25-109-RLC) for removal of one insulated pad mount switch and installation of a replacement at Richmond State Supported Living Center in Richmond, Texas. Bids were due April 17, 2026 at 10:30 a.m., so the solicitation is past its submission deadline. The work reissues services previously solicited under HHS0016802 and HHS0016802v2.

No Historically Underutilized Business set-aside is established, though HUB subcontracting is encouraged.

The contractor must remove the existing G&W Electric switch and install a new unit "like for like" that meets or exceeds current governmental codes, including all switchgear accessories for a fully operational turnkey system. The contractor must provide training on the installed equipment and warranty coverage of twelve months or the manufacturer warranty, whichever is greater. Bidders must have a minimum of three years of relevant experience and three verifiable references from similar contracts within the last three years. Assigned personnel must hold Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation licensure as an Electrical Contractor and Master Electrician. Required insurance includes workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence, commercial automobile liability of $1 million combined single limit, professional liability of $1 million, and umbrella liability of $1 million. Background checks apply, and Form 1295 is required if selected for award.

Pricing must be a firm, fixed, all-inclusive amount covering labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and related expenses, submitted in U.S. dollars on Exhibit C. The contract commences upon award and expires August 31, 2029, with no renewal options, though HHSC reserves the right to extend up to one year for continuity of service or transition.
