THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSALS
1.0 GENERAL:

general construction contractors.
1.2 All data submitted with a Proposal, except as noted herein, is deemed to be a part of the
terms and conditions of the Contract.
1.3 It is the policy of the State of Texas and the A&M System to encourage the use of Veteran
Heroes United in Business (VetHUBs) in our prime contracts, subcontractors and our
purchasing transactions. Subcontracting opportunities are anticipated for this Request for
Competitive Sealed Proposals (RFCSP) and therefore a VetHUB Subcontracting Plan (SP)
is required.
2.0 RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS:
2.1 Proposals will be received at the time, place and under conditions set forth in the published
RFCSP.
2.2 Proposal documents are obtainable from the Architect/Engineer (A/E) under conditions set
forth in the RFCSP.

3.1 Information inquiries regarding the CSP process should be directed to the Director of
Procurement & Disbursements at telephone: 361-825-2616
3.2 See "Supplemental Instructions for Competitive Sealed Proposals" for information
inquiries regarding the technical aspects of the Drawings and Specifications.
3.3 Information inquiries regarding the VetHUB Program and SP process should be directed
to the VetHUB Coordinator as listed in Part 3, HUB Subcontracting Plan for Construction
Services.
4.0 DISCREPANCIES AND INTERPRETATIONS:
4.1 Proposer must notify the Project Manager and the A/E, in writing, at least eight (8) business
days prior to the scheduled Proposal opening date, if discrepancies, ambiguities or
omissions are found in the Proposal documents, or if further information or interpretation
is desired.
4.2 Answers to inquires will be provided in writing to all proposers in addenda form. All
provisions and requirements of such addenda will supersede or modify affected portions of
the Proposal documents. All addenda will be incorporated into and bound with the Contract
Documents. No other explanation or interpretation will be considered binding.

08/2014
5.0 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE:
5.1 There are two parts to the Competitive Sealed Proposal: Part 1A and Part 1B. Submit one
(1) original Competitive Sealed Proposal by the time stated per part sealed in a separate
uniquely labeled envelope.
5.2 Enclose the Bid/Proposal Bond or other acceptable Proposal guaranty in the small envelope
affixed to the outside of the CSP envelope for Part 1A.
5.3 Complete the proposer identification information on the envelope.
5.4 Submit Part 2, Technical Proposal, Proposer's Qualifications by the time stated and in the
quantity called for in the Supplemental Instructions for Competitive Sealed Proposals.
5.5 Submit Part 3, Technical Proposal, HUB Subcontracting Plan for Construction Services by
the time stated and in the quantity called for in Section 2.5 of the Supplemental Instructions
for Competitive Sealed Proposals. The HSP shall be submitted as a separate document with
sections appropriately tabbed.
5.6 If the Proposal is submitted by mail, place the envelopes in a mailing envelope addressed
per the Supplemental Instructions for Competitive Sealed Proposals. Delivery of all
Proposal parts prior to the advertised time set for the Proposal receipt and subsequent
submittal deadlines is the responsibility of the proposer.
6.0 PREPARATION OF COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSAL:
6.1 The Proposal must be based on conditions at the project site, the project Drawings and
Specifications and any addenda issued.
6.2 The Proposal, Part 1, (TAMUS Form C-4 CSP) must be authoritatively executed in blue
ink and submitted on the Proposal form furnished by the A/E.
6.3 If the Proposer's Qualifications form does not provide sufficient space to adequately
respond to a question, the proposer should attach additional 8 1/2" X 11" white paper sheets
as required, referencing the page and question numbers to which the response pertains. Part
2 submission is limited to a maximum of thirty (30) pages.
6.4 A Proposal showing omissions, alterations, conditions, or carrying riders or other qualifiers
which modify the Proposal form may be rejected as irregular.
6.5 The various sections of the Part 2 and Part 3 Proposal data should be separated by tabbed
dividers. The tabs must identify the sections by name rather than simply a number or
alphabet.
6.6 If the proposer chooses to issue a "No Response" (N/R) to a question on the Proposal, an
explanation of this action is required. Failure to do so, may be viewed by the Owner as an
incomplete response and may subject the entire Proposal to rejection.
Page 2 of 7

Form C-3B CSP
08/2014
6.7 Only one Part 1 Proposal shall be submitted by each proposer (A&M System Form C-4
CSP). If two or more Part 1 Proposals are submitted, either in one envelope or in separate
envelopes, such multiple Proposals may be subject to rejection. The blank Proposal form
bound in the Specification is for the proposer's information only.
6.8 A fully completed and executed Part 3, HUB Subcontracting Plan acceptable to the Owner
must be submitted as directed in the Supplemental Instructions for Competitive Sealed
Proposals. Failure to submit a Part 3, HUB Subcontracting Plan will constitute an irregular
proposal which will be rejected. The HSP shall not be modified after the time set for receipt
except as set forth in the Part 3, HUB Subcontracting Plan for Construction Services.
6.9 The proposer may modify a Part 1 Proposal by means of marking an add or deduct to a line
in the Part 1 Proposal on the outside of the CSP envelope in ink with individuals initials
prior to the advertised time set for the receipt of Proposals in the published RFCSP. The
add or deduct must not reveal the Proposal price but should identify the addition or
subtraction or other modification(s) so that the final prices will not be known until the
sealed Proposal is opened. Any such modification shall be confirmed on company
letterhead and executed by a company officer and received by the presiding official within
two (2) working days after the date of the Proposal opening, otherwise the Proposal
modification will be ignored and the total Proposal may be rejected.
6.10 Proposals received after the advertised time for the Proposal receipt will be ineligible and
will be returned unopened.
6.11 Before publicly opening the proposals, the HUB Coordinator official shall make a cursory
review of the proposer's HSP to determine if a good faith effort has been made and for
preliminary acceptability. If no HSP is submitted or if the submitted Plan is not complete
and cannot be made complete under this procedure or is not indicative of a good faith effort
as defined in the Part 3, HUB Subcontracting Plan Submittal instructions and the Owner's
Policy on Utilization of HUBs, the HUB Program Director will publicly announce this to
those in attendance at the opening, reject the proposal and return all submitted proposal
parts to the proposer unopened.
6.12 After all Proposals are publicly opened, but before they are read aloud, they will be
examined by the presiding official to determine if they are complete, in proper form and
properly signed. If an error or omission is discovered and classified by the presiding official
as a technicality which the Owner has reserved the right to waive, the proposer's
representative may be permitted to make the appropriate correction. Any such correction
will be announced and explained to those present at the Proposal opening. A Proposal
which is not and cannot be made eligible for consideration under this procedure will not be
read, nor will the Proposal prices be revealed.
6.13 A proposer will receive no compensation or reimbursement of expenses incurred in of the
preparation of a CSP submission.
6.14 The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all Proposals.
7.0 PUBLIC INFORMATION AND NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIALITY

Form C-3B CSP
08/2014
7.1 The Owner considers all Proposal information, documentation and supporting materials
submitted in response to this RFCSP to be non-confidential and/or non-proprietary in
nature, and therefore, shall be subject to the public disclosure under the Texas Public
Information Act (Texas Government Code, Sec. 552.001, et seq.) after the execution of the
contract.
7.2 The Proposer must identify and designate those portions of their technical Proposal which
contains trade secrets or other proprietary data. If the Proposal includes such data, the
proposer shall:
1. Mark the cover sheet of the Technical Proposal with the following phrase: "This
Proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside The Texas A&M
University System and the A/E design team and shall not be duplicated, used or
disclosed in whole or in part for any purpose other than to evaluate this Proposal."
2. Mark each sheet and the specific data on that sheet that the proposer wishes to
restrict with the following phrase: "Use or disclosure of this specifically marked
data is subject to the restrictions regarding confidentiality cited on the cover sheet
of this Proposal."
8.0 PROPOSAL GUARANTY:
8.1 A certified or cashier's check on a State or National Bank or a Bid/Proposal Bond on The
Texas A&M University System (A&M System) Form C-2, Bid/Proposal Bond, from a
Surety authorized to transact business in the State of Texas, with a rating of A- or better
with A.M. Best Company and listed in the Department of Treasury list of companies
holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and as
Acceptable Reinsuring Companies in the amount of not less than five percent (5%) of the
greatest total amount of the proposed contract amount, payable without recourse to the
order of the Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System, must accompany the
Proposal as a guarantee that, if awarded the Contract, the proposer will promptly enter into
and execute the Contract and Performance and Payment Bonds on the forms provided.
8.2 The Bid or Proposal Bond must be accompanied by a properly dated and executed Power
of Attorney with a live Surety seal on each document. Failure to do so will constitute an
irregular Proposal which may be rejected. Use of a Surety company's bond form is not
acceptable and will cause the Proposal to be rejected.
8.3 Should the successful proposer fail to execute the Contract and Bonds within fifteen (15)
days after the date of transmittal of the Contract Documents for execution, the Proposal
Guaranty becomes the property of the Owner, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages.
8.4 Proposal guaranties of all proposers will be retained until after the Contract and Bonds
have been executed.
9.0 PRE-QUALIFICATION OF PROPOSER
9.1 The Owner, at its option, may elect to pre-qualify proposers. If pre-qualification is to be
accomplished, proposers will be required to submit all or specific parts of the information
Page 4 of 7

Form C-3B CSP
08/2014
required by the RFCSP with the exception of pricing information. Pre-qualification may
not be a conclusive determination that a proposer offers the best value to the Owner.
9.2 A pre-qualified Proposal may be rejected on the basis of subsequently discovered
information, but failure to pre-qualify does not prevent a subsequent determination that a
proposer offers the best value to the Owner regarding a specific proposal.
10.0 PROPOSER REQUIREMENTS:
10.1 As required by Chapter 231, Texas Family Code, a Proposal for a contract to be paid from
state funds must include the name and social security number of the sole proprietor, each
partner, shareholder or owner with an ownership interest of at least 25 percent of the
business entity submitting the Proposal.
10.2 The Texas Family Code requires each Proposal to include the following statement: "Under
Section, 231.006, Family Code, the vendor or applicant certifies that the individual or
business entity named in this contract Proposal or application, is not ineligible to receive
the specified grant, loan or payment and acknowledges that this contract may be terminated
and payment may be withheld if this certification is inaccurate." Proposer agrees with this
certification statement upon submittal of a properly executed Proposal.
10.3 All proposals that have a contract value of $100,000 or more shall contain a Historically
Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan. Each Proposer must have made a good
faith effort in developing the HSP. The instructions for preparing the HSP are located in
the Part 3, HUB Subcontracting Plan of the C-4 CSP form.
10.4 Out of state corporate proposers must submit a Certificate of Good Standing or a Certificate
of Authority with their Proposal. This certificate may be applied for through the office of
the Texas Secretary of State.
11.0 OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSAL
11.1 Submitted Proposals, documentation and supporting materials shall become the property
of the Owner.
12.0 SITE INVESTIGATION:

and adjacent property and be familiar with existing conditions before submission of a
Proposal.
12.2 After investigating the project site and comparing the Drawings and Specifications with
the existing conditions, the proposer should immediately notify the A/E, in accordance with
paragraph 4.0 of these Instructions for Competitive Sealed Proposals, of any conditions for
which requirements are not clear; or about which there is any question regarding the extent
of the Work involved.
12.3 Should the successful proposer fail to make the required investigation and should a
question arise after award of contract as to the extent of the Work involved in any particular
Page 5 of 7

Form C-3B CSP
08/2014
case, after receiving recommendations from the A/E, the Owner will make the
interpretation of the Contract Documents.
13.0 EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD PROCESS:
13.1 Proposals will be opened publicly to identify the names of the proposer and their respective
proposed contract amount and contract time. Other contents of the Proposals will be
afforded security sufficient to preclude disclosure of the contents prior to award or rejection
action.
13.2 Proposals will be evaluated by the Owner and the A/E. The criteria for evaluation and
selection of the successful proposer for this award will be based upon the factors listed
below:
(1) Proposed construction contract amount - 40%
(2) Proposer's project schedule/record of maintaining schedule - 20%
(3) Proposer's experience and qualifications - 30%
(4) Litigation/claims/compliance - 3%
(5) Proposer's Quality Control program - 3%
(6) Proposer's safety record and program - 3%
(7) Proposal submittal/response - 1%
13.3 After opening the Proposals, the Owner will evaluate and rank each Proposal with respect
to the published selection criteria described under Section 13.2. After opening and ranking,
an award may be made on the basis of the initially submitted Proposal, without discussion,
clarification or modification, or the Owner may discuss with the selected proposer, offers
for cost adjustment and other elements of the Proposal. Other than the data read at the
Proposal opening, the Owner will not disclose any information derived from the Proposals
submitted by competing firms in conducting such discussions.
If the Owner determines that it is unable to reach a satisfactory agreement with the first
ranked proposer, the Owner will terminate discussions with that proposer. The Owner will
then proceed with negotiations with each successive proposer as they appear in the order
of ranking until an agreement is reached, or until the Owner has rejected all Proposals.
After termination of discussions with any proposer, Owner will not resume discussions
with that proposer.
13.4 Immediately following the Owner's approval of the order of ranking of proposers and the
Owner's contract award or Proposal rejection action, the proposers will be notified by
electronic or facsimile message.
13.5 The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all alternates or to accept any
combination of alternates considered advantageous to the Owner.
