The City of Sherman, Texas, is accepting sealed bids for the Phase IV Drainage Improvements for Setting Suns Project in the City of Sherman, Texas, hereinafter called “City” or “Owner,” in accordance with specifications and Contract Documents prepared by the City of Sherman. Sealed bids must be received at the Engineering Office, located in the Community Services Building, 317 S.

Travis Street, Sherman, Texas, 75090, no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday, October 23, 2026. Bids received on or before this deadline will be opened and read aloud. Any bids received after the deadline will be rejected as non-responsive.

This project consists of all work associated with the lump sum and unit price bid of the construction of a closed-conduit storm drain system; the associated earthwork to shape a receiving channel for flow conveyed by that system; and the asphalt re-paving of approximately 44 linear feet of a portion of S. Cimmaron Trail. The storm drain system will consist of 170 linear feet of RCP; two (2) cast-in-place wye inlets; and one pair of wingwalls at the storm drain outfall. At this outfall, a triangular drainage channel with 3.5:1 side-slopes and a top width of 20 feet shall be graded and sodded. Finally, as previously mentioned, a portion of S. Cimmaron Trail will be re-paved with a 9”-thick crushed aggregate base and 3” HMAC surface course because the road profile has been altered as the low-water crossing that exists in the pre-construction condition will be replaced by the proposed storm drain system. Other items include demolition; traffic control; grading to drain; and sodding of other disturbed areas. Project shall include all necessary labor, materials, and testing in accordance with the plans and specifications.
