The City has established a Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) goal of 2% and a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal of 5% of contract value; the contractor must maintain good faith efforts to award subcontracts and supply agreements meeting these goals. Proposers designated as City Business (CB) or Local Business (LB) under the Hire Houston First Program are eligible for up to 5 local preference points.

The scope consists of construction of traffic calming devices including speed cushions, signage, and pavement markings across multiple residential neighborhood locations to address speeding and cut-through traffic. The contractor must achieve substantial completion within 730 days after commencement.

The estimated construction budget is $3 million. Contract start is anticipated in January 2027, with City Council agenda date in January 2027 and intent-to-award notification in November 2026. A bid bond or certified check is required with proposal submission. Payment terms are 30 days after receipt of invoice or goods/services, whichever is later.

Evaluation criteria include pass/fail gates for responsiveness, responsibility, financial stability, and W/SBE participation. Technical competence is worth 60 points. Pricing proposals are evaluated competitively, with the lowest Total Proposal Price receiving the maximum 40 points available for cost evaluation. Questions are due September 25, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (CT). Contact: Elvia Fernandez, Procurement Specialist, (754) 233-0309.
