SUBJECT: Bid Award Recommendation for RFP 2026-506: Law Enforcement training
Facility
BACKGROUND The Taylor County Purchasing Department recently solicited sealed
proposals for RFP 2026-506, seeking a qualified vendor for construction of the Law
Enforcement Training Facility.
One vendor submitted complete packages and successfully passed all mandatory
knockout requirements, including site inspection, performance/payment bond
assurances, and mandatory state forms.
EVALUATION SUMMARY An evaluation committee reviewed the responsive proposals
based on a 100-point scale. The criteria included Total Cost (40 Points), Quality of
Goods/Services (40 Points), Past Performance (10 Points), and Meets County
Needs/Requirements (10 Points).
The final scoring resulted in the following evaluations:
• OPREX Commercial Construction: 100 / 100 points
OPREX Commercial Construction’s base bid amount was $2,623,238.52. This would be
well over our originally anticipated budget of $1,540,000.
REQUESTED COURT ACTION The Purchasing Department respectfully requests that the
Commissioners’ Court take the following actions:
Reject the proposal received due to it being over budget and reassess the scope and
design of the project.
