Airline Drive Intersection and Griggs Road Crossing Improvements

The City of Houston is soliciting bids from qualified contractors for the Airline Drive Intersection and Griggs Road Crossing Improvements, with bids due December 3, 2026. Women and Small Business Enterprise (WSBE) participation goals apply, and contractors must make Good Faith Efforts to award subcontracts in the stated percentages. WBE-certified contractors may count up to 50 percent of their own workforce toward the goal. The bid documents select no specific set-aside.

The project is a systemic safety effort comprising two construction initiatives, CSJ 0912-72-761 and 0912-72-762, at three Houston locations in Harris County, Texas: Airline Drive at Canino Road, Airline Drive from Aurora Street to Link Road, and Griggs Road from Culberson Street to Scott Street. Work includes removing spanwire traffic signals and installing mastarm signals with LED heads, LED countdown pedestrian heads, APS pushbuttons, and loop detection. It also covers corner radii, median, sidewalk, curb extension, crosswalk, pavement marking, signage, and ADA modifications. Specifications incorporate Houston Public Works Standard Construction Specifications, Harris County Engineering Department Standard Specifications, and CenterPoint Energy specifications. The project is federally funded under FHWA provisions, and federal and state requirements prevail over City requirements where they conflict. Prevailing wage rates for federal highway construction apply. Mandatory performance and statutory payment bonds are required. The Goodman Corporation (TBPE Firm No. 19990) is the referenced engineering firm.

Substantial completion is due 182 calendar days from the Date of Commencement of Work. Liquidated damages apply to delays beyond the Contract Time, and payments issue monthly for periods ending on the 15th or last day of each month. The project manual lists a November 2026 letting date.
