Equipment/Supplies/Services for Maintenance/Facilities/Transportation/Food Service

This is a non‑expiring, qualifying RFP issued by Grand Prairie Independent School District to establish a district‑wide vendor list for a broad range of equipment, supplies, and services supporting maintenance, facilities, transportation, and food service operations. No specific items are called out; vendors submit a single “qualifying bid” to be approved and placed on the vendor list, after which the district may issue purchase orders as needs arise. The solicitation includes extensive compliance requirements (insurance, COI, background checks, fingerprinting, conflict‑of‑interest questionnaire, ethics certification, and adherence to Texas DEI and anti‑lobbying statutes). Successful vendors must maintain required certifications and be ready to provide goods or services on a purchase‑order basis. • Open‑ended scope – covers HVAC, electrical, plumbing, general maintenance, grounds, custodial, alarm, transportation, food service, and warehouse equipment, plus labor rates. • No fixed price or quantity; vendors are evaluated on price, reputation, quality, past district relationship, HUB status, and compliance documentation. • Submission is electronic (paper optional) with mandatory attachments (CIQ, insurance, ethics forms). • Vendor must maintain a current certificate of insurance (A‑M Best B+VI or better) and a valid COI before any purchase order is issued. • Background checks and fingerprinting required for any personnel working on district property. • Award is multi‑vendor; the district may award multiple vendors for each category.
