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.
