Body
FILE INFORMATION
The City of Denton has identified needs for temporary labor resources to clean various facilities and to perform other manual labor jobs as needed. After consultation with the City departments, it became readily apparent that these facilities could be maintained through a contracted resource, ensuring continuity and quality of services to our citizens. On April 2, 2013, the City of Denton awarded a contract to TIBH Industries, Inc. to provide these services for a three (3) year time period. The City of Denton has successfully utilized the temporary services in areas such as the Distribution Center and Denton Municipal Electric facilities.
TIBH Industries, Inc. (TIBH) (<http://tibh.org/index.php>) has been identified as a resource that has effectively delivered similar services to many other cities, counties and government entities. TIBH serves as a catalyst in Texas for employment opportunities for people with disabilities, through its’ statutory authorization as the State of Texas Central Non-Profit Agency. The program was first initiated in 1978, authorized by the Texas Legislature through Texas Human Resources Code, Title 8, Chapter 122, as a State of Texas set-aside program, which exempts government entities from competitive requirements. This statute also established the requirement for the State of Texas to maintain a state-wide contract for all government entities to access these types of services, identified previously as State of Texas Contract 962-M3.
TIBH utilizes local Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRP’s) across Texas to perform these types of services-effectively employing approximately 6,400 Texans with disabilities in 2012. For over 30 years, TIBH has been “working wonders” in service to our local communities and government entities.
