Drainage and Erosion Project

New Diana Independent School District is requesting sealed proposals for a drainage and erosion project at multiple campus locations, with proposals due October 1, 2026, and a mandatory pre-proposal site visit on September 18, 2026 at the New Diana ISD Football Stadium.

The scope includes regrading and reshaping gravel pavement and drainage ditches at the Ag Barn and near the northeast corner of the Football Field/Track; installing new storm pipe with concrete safety end treatments and rock rip rap at the east side of the Visitor Parking Lot; and removing and replacing concrete pavement with storm sewer inlet and piping at the west side of the Field House. The bid package contains 25 line items covering mobilization, bonds, gravel and concrete work, earthwork, pipe installation and removal, and site restoration. Contractors must comply with the Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage Schedule for Upshur County, Texas, and facilitate criminal history record information on all employees and subcontractors per Texas Education Code.

The District reserves the right to award based on best value rather than lowest cost. Evaluation criteria are Corporate Qualifications (100 points), Personnel Qualifications (50 points), References and Experience (200 points), and Pricing (150 points), totaling 500 possible points. Proposals are submitted on a lump-sum contract basis excluding all sales and use taxes. A 5% Bid Bond or Certified Check is required; the selected contractor must furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the bid amount within ten days of award. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation (Statutory), Commercial General Liability ($2,000,000 General Aggregate), and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 Combined Single Limit).

The anticipated project start is November 9, 2026, with completion required by December 18, 2026 (40 calendar days after Notice to Proceed). Liquidated damages are $500 per calendar day for delays beyond the contracted completion date. Written questions are due September 24, 2026, with answers posted September 29, 2026. One original and five copies of all proposal responses are required.
