Toddler Playscape - Removal and Installation

Texas School for the Deaf is requesting proposals for removal and installation of a toddler playscape at its Austin campus, with proposals due July 14, 2026 and a mandatory site visit on July 1, 2026 between 10:00–11:00 a.m. CST; failure to attend results in disqualification.

The scope includes demolition of existing playground equipment and surfacing from a 25-by-25-foot concrete slab, site preparation, and installation of a new commercial-grade toddler playscape designed for children ages 2–5 with capacity for approximately 17–21 children and maximum fall height not exceeding 45 inches. Work is performed at 1102 South Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78704 (Building 28). Contract work commences July 27, 2026 and expires upon job completion and approval by TSD personnel, with possible extension not to exceed one month.

Contractor qualification requirements are five years of professional experience in remodeling, construction, or similar services and completion of a minimum of three different contracts within the past five years. Respondents must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, and automobile liability insurance with $1 million combined single limit, with TSD named as additional insured. Proof of insurance is due within seven days of award.

Evaluation uses a weighted scoring system: 40 percent on compensation and fees, 60 percent on qualifications and experience. Questions are due July 3, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CST, with written answers provided July 7, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CST. TSD reserves the right to award to a single contractor or multiple contractors based on best value.
