Current Situation 

All bid responses have been evaluated by H-GAC staff. Thirteen bids (consisting of 15 vendors) are being recommended for award. The response from Sam Pack’s Five Star Ford was not awarded because they were not the lowest responsible bid.  Request authorization of contracts with the lowest responsible bidders for product items as summarized in the Award Recommendation Table and, as may be applicable, to extend contract assignments to other authorized entities during the contract period. If an awarded bidder fails to execute a contract within forty-five days, fails to maintain required licenses, or is determined to be ineligible, authorization is requested to contract with the next lowest responsible bidder.
