Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals for
Goodwill Central Texas's Center for Good and The Excel Center's Exploration Center
Goodwill Central Texas (Goodwill) and The Excel Center (TE) are requesting Competitive Sealed Proposals from General Contractors for services for a two-part construction project consisting of separate projects of both Goodwill's Center for Good (renovation of approximately 3,525 square feet office space; demolition of existing security office in the atrium) and TEC's Exploration Center (renovation of approximately 7,575 square feet daycare space plus an approximately 2,400 square feet playground; with the change of use to childcare services (Group I-4,) additional rated assemblies will need to be constructed to separate TEC's Exploration Center from the adjacent office spaces both horizontally and vertically). The total estimated budget for this project is $2,500,000.00, consisting of Goodwill Project of $1,000,000.00 and TEC Project of $1,500,000.00. Because the TEC Project will be paid with public funds, the selected contractor will be required to keep separate, detailed records (including payment records for material and labor) for each portion of the project so that Goodwill will only pay for the Goodwill Portion of the Project and TEC will only pay for the Excel Portion of the Project.
