2026 Concrete Replacement

The City of Lubbock, Texas has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 25-19283-AE) for the 2026 Concrete Replacement project, seeking a contractor to furnish all labor and materials for comprehensive concrete replacement work. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid process, with bids due on December 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM, to be publicly opened at the City's office located at 1314 Avenue K, Floor 9, with teleconference options available via Zoom. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The project requires substantial completion within 110 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, which will be issued 30 days after city council contract award. Bidders must submit bid security equaling 5 percent of their total proposal amount and are responsible for site inspection prior to submission. Interested contractors can obtain project plans and specifications online through the City's Bonfire portal or at the Purchasing and Contract Management office. Bid clarification requests must be submitted in writing no later than five calendar days before the bid closing date, with the City reserving the right to reject any or all bids.

The contract does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include critical compliance requirements that will impact potential bidders. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements under Texas Government Code Chapter 2258, ensuring workers are paid not less than the general prevailing per diem wage rate. For contracts exceeding $50,000, a payment bond of 100 percent of the contract price is mandatory, and for contracts over $100,000, a performance bond of the same percentage is required, with both bonds issued by companies carrying a current Best Rating of "A" or better. Contractors must provide workers' compensation coverage for all employees and subcontractors and obtain all required insurance before commencing work. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed bonding and insurance requirements suggest a potentially significant project value. The successful bidder must maintain a local representative throughout the project and demonstrate the capability to meet all technical and administrative specifications outlined in the bid documents.
