Description
Henderson State University is seeking a qualified general contractor (or consortium) to establish a Job‑Order‑Contracting (JOC) program for FY 2026‑2027. The indefinite‑quantity, firm‑fixed‑price contract will enable HSU to call on the contractor for a wide range of construction‑related tasks—such as classroom and restroom finish‑outs, asbestos abatement, lock‑system installations, IT/telephone infrastructure, demolition, framing, and specialty trades. Proposals are evaluated on a “Best‑Value” basis, with a coefficient (price factor) accounting for 50 % of the score, and separate scoring for work plan and contractor capability. The contract includes bond, insurance, safety, and disclosure requirements, and may be renewed up to three additional one‑year periods.
• Scope covers any construction, renovation, or repair work at HSU campuses, priced via RS Means rates plus a contractor‑submitted coefficient.
• Minimum contractor qualifications: valid Arkansas contractor’s license, required insurance coverage, ability to submit performance/pay bonds for jobs > $20 k, and compliance with disclosure rules for jobs > $25 k.
• Contract period: July 1 2026 – June 30 2027 (one year) with optional three‑year renewals; individual job orders have their own schedules and liquidated‑damage provisions.
