Summary of Specifications:
The Panhandle Area Educational Consortium (hereinafter, PAEC) is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from companies and firms interested in providing facilities management services on behalf of this Consortium for its own facilities and/or its participating school districts, individual public, private, charter schools, trade and technical schools, colleges and universities, local and state government entities. Written responses to this RFP must be delivered to PAEC no later than 4:00 p.m. CST on March 6, 2017. No late submissions will be accepted. The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to identify and endorse a Contractor to serve as the Facilities Manager and/or provider of one or multiple facility services in order to assist PAEC and its participating facilities with managing, operating and maintaining their various facilities. It is envisioned that this goal would be achieved via a highly developed, centralized facility management program operated by the participating school districts, agencies and the Contractor. The successful bidder will enter into a direct contractual relationship with the participating school districts or agencies and/or, if required, its participating facilities. Although facilities management services are the focus of this RFP, respondents are invited to propose other ideas or programs to efficiently manage and operate the facilities outlined that they may include with their response to the scope of work defined in this document. Any and all ideas or programs proposed that deviate from those requested in this document must be explained in detail, and separated clearly in the bid submittal. This RFP is not an agreement or contract, and represents a list of requirements only. Submitted proposals shall become property of PAEC, and as such, PAEC reserves the right to reject any or all proposals for any reason.
