Specifications include, but are not limited to:. Part 1 of the two-part solicitation is the goods and non-construction services section that must be procured according to Texas Education Code §44.031 and the solicitation description is a Request for Proposals. Only services that are considered non-construction are permitted under Part 1. Example: depending on the judgment of the 791COOP Member entity, this may include installation of the Sports Facility Lighting. Part 2 of the two-part solicitation is the installation section for projects that the work required for installation is considered a public work construction project and the solicitation description is a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals as permitted under Texas Government Code §2269; Job Order Contracts. How the installation is classified is dependent on the judgment of the 791COOP member and the work involved in the specific scope of the project. Example: if the member is purchasing a modular building and there must be engineered footings, sidewalks, awnings and walk way covers, plumbing or electrical service installed at the site for the building, they may be required by statute to engage an independent engineer and the project may be considered a construction or public works project that requires procurement according to Texas Government Code 2269.. Scope of Services: The specific scope of work for each job shall be determined in advance and in writing between 791COOP Member and Awarded contractor. It is okay if the 791COOP member provides a general scope, but the awarded contractor should provide a written scope of work to the 791COOP member as part of the proposal. Once the scope of the job is agreed to, the 791COOP member will issue a PO with the estimate referenced as an attachment along with bond and any other special provisions agreed to for the 791COOP member. If special terms and conditions other than those covered within this solicitation and awarded contracts are required, they will be attached to the PO and shall take precedence over those in the base 791COOP contract.
