Aransas Pass Aquatic Center Boardwalk Replacement San Patricio, Texas

The Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program, Inc. (CBBEP) is soliciting sealed bids for the Aransas Pass Aquatic Center Boardwalk Replacement project located at 400 E. Johnson Ave. in Aransas Pass, Texas. The procurement involves completely removing the existing timber boardwalk structure and replacing it with a new pedestrian boardwalk constructed using 10" square timber piles, structural grade reinforced HDPE framing members, and reinforced polymer decking. A non-mandatory virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 29, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with sealed bids due on June 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The project timeline is set at 5 months from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $300 per calendar day for delays. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond, and the contract will be awarded based on the lowest base bid plus the maximum number of possible additive bids, not to exceed the budgetary control amount. The evaluation criteria will prioritize the most advantageous bid, with CBBEP reserving the right to not select the lowest bid. The project scope includes comprehensive work elements such as mobilization, demolition, pile installation, decking, framing, and roofing components.

The procurement opportunity appears to be open to all qualified contractors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. The project jurisdictions include Schleicher County and two listings for Amarillo City, though the actual project is located in Aransas Pass. The total project budget and specific award value are not explicitly stated, but the procurement will be funded through the Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program. Technical specifications require materials to meet specific environmental standards, including recycled content requirements suitable for marine and coastal environments. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in marine construction, boardwalk infrastructure replacement, and ability to work within strict environmental constraints. The project emphasizes technical precision, with specific requirements for materials, structural integrity, and environmental compatibility. While no incumbent vendors are identified, potential respondents should have extensive experience in coastal infrastructure reconstruction and marine construction techniques.
