TIPS Construction-TIPS Awarded Vendor Logo.png

As an Awarded Vendor, NAE Contracting offers TIPS Members a efficient, compliant path to complete projects without the delay and cost of issuing new RFPs for every job.

Benefits of Contracting with NAE through TIPS

Full Compliance with
T.E.C. / T.G.C.  Procurement Law

​Clients can be confident in knowing TIPS contracts are authorized under TEC §44.031 and TGC §791.  Similarly, authorization supporting Job Order Contracting can be found under TGC §2269.407. Local Board policies may require action before proceeding, but it is not necessary to start from scratch with each construction event.

Bonding & Wage Requirements
are Assured

  • ​​​Performance bonds for projects over $100,000

​

  • Payment bonds for projects over $25,000

​

  • Prevailing wage requirements documented and enforced

Flexibility to Choose and Ability to Immediately Negotiate and Start Work

  • Through TIPS, clients can move straight to scope development and pricing with NAE—no need to re-bid the work.

​

  • Using TIPS does NOT lock clients into a single vendor for all projects; It DOES provide a ready-to-use, competitively procured contract vehicle where NAE has already been vetted.
