Vendors must submit proposals by June 5, 2026, 08:00 AM CT. Questions are due by May 27, 2026, 04:30 PM CT. Award criteria include purchase price, vendor reputation, quality of services, response time, and past relationship with the district. Vendors are required to provide a one-year warranty on all materials and labor. Invoices must be submitted to Accounts Payable and will be paid net 30 days. GCCISD is exempt from taxes. Compliance with federal regulations (2 CFR 200) and Texas Government Code is mandatory. Additional documents required include Edgar Certifications, Form ****, W9, and CIQ form.
The response deadline for proposals is June 5, 2026, at 08:00 AM CT. For materials, the vendor must state the number of days required to place material in the receiving agency's designated location; failure to state this obligates the vendor to complete delivery in fourteen (14) calendar days.
Correct invoices shall be paid net 30 days. Invoices must be sent to Goose Creek CISD, Attn: Accounts Payable, PO Box 30, Baytown, TX ****.
The vendor warrants that all goods delivered under this contract will conform to the requirements of this contract and will be free from defects in design and fit for the intended purposes. The vendor must provide an unconditional one-year warranty on all materials and labor in writing to the district when the job is complete and accepted by the district, in addition to any manufacturer's printed warranty documents.
The proposal may be awarded to multiple vendors. The scoring criteria include purchase price (35 pts), reputation of the vendor and vendors goods and services (10 pts), quality of the vendors goods and/or services (10 pts), response time (15 pts), extent to which the goods and/or services meet the districts needs (10 pts), vendors past relationship with the district (5 pts), total long-term cost to the district (10 pts), and whether the vendors ultimate parent company or majority owner has its principal place of business in TX or employees at least 500 people in TX (5 pts).
The purpose of this proposal is to solicit qualified plumbing contractors. Vendors are expected to examine the specifications, standard terms and conditions, and all proposal instructions. If the vendors are unknown to the school district or their competency is questioned, they shall, upon request, file with the school district, reliable data and references for investigation.
In case of default by the vendor, the district may, by written notice, cancel this contract and repurchase from another source, and may recover the excess costs by deduction from an unpaid balance due, collection against the contract and/or performance bond, or a combination of the aforementioned remedies or other remedies as provided by law.
All questions shall be submitted using the districts online bidding portal, via the questions tab, and must be submitted prior to the established date time provided above (May 27, 2026, 04:30 PM CT).
Failure to respond to this new solicitation may result in loss of eligibility for awarded vendor status to continue providing goods and/or services. Any proposal received after the response deadline will not be considered. Failure to include required documents such as the invitation to submit proposal, proposal form, acknowledgement of certifications, conflict of interest questionnaire, and taxpayer identification W9 may be just cause to disqualify the response.
Based on previous expenditures over the past twelve months for plumbing contractor services on an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) basis, GCCISD estimates their spending to be $50,000. Please note there is no guaranteed annual volume.
