The contract term is 365 calendar days, with an estimated completion date of December 2025.

The procurement includes a 3% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, encouraging involvement from minority and small businesses. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the project has specific restrictions on campaign contributions and communication during the procurement process. The contract value is set not to exceed $1,845,462.00, providing a clear budget range for potential respondents. The project is located in Bexar County, Texas, and falls under the jurisdiction of the City of San Antonio Public Works Department. Prospective bidders should carefully review the solicitation documents, paying particular attention to the DBE requirements, communication restrictions, and the detailed evaluation criteria that will determine proposal selection.
