City of Huntsville Streets Concrete & ADA Upgrades FY2025 Phase 3

The City of Huntsville is seeking a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive street infrastructure improvements through the Streets Concrete & ADA Upgrades FY2025 Phase 3 project (Bid #47-2025-55). The procurement involves upgrading and repairing fifty streets within Madison County, Alabama, with a total construction timeline of 280 calendar days. Specific deliverables include replacing driveway aprons, sidewalks, crossdrains, curb and gutter sections, and installing 56 Type 1 Parallel Corner handicap ramps with ADA-compliant detectable warning pavers. Bidders must possess a valid Alabama General Contractor's License with either a Highway & Streets (HS) or Municipal & Utility (MU) classification. The city will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, considering factors such as price, specification conformity, financial capacity, and previous performance. Key dates include a pre-bid conference on May 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST and bid opening on May 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with bidders required to submit a 5% bid bond not exceeding $10,000.

Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract price and a certificate of insurance. The contract term is one year from the award date, with potential extensions for two additional one-year periods. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents indicate a comprehensive evaluation process that considers multiple factors beyond price. The project requires contractors to provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for concrete and ADA improvements, with specific technical requirements including mandatory use of flowable fill, cold, or hot asphalt mix for backfill, and complete site restoration. Although the current bid sheet shows placeholder pricing, the project represents a significant infrastructure investment focusing on accessibility improvements and street rehabilitation in the Huntsville area. While a precise budget range is not specified, the extensive scope of work involving fifty streets and multiple infrastructure upgrades suggests a substantial municipal investment in urban infrastructure maintenance and accessibility.
