Dump Truck Hauling Services

The City of Corpus Christi is requesting bids for dump truck hauling services to support Corpus Christi Water's trenching and repair operations, with bids due September 17, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 26 at 3:00 p.m. CT via WebEx.

Bidders must haul excess excavated bulk materials — dirt, concrete, brush, sand, gravel, and wet dirt — from job sites to designated landfills and dump sites throughout the city. The service encompasses two truck categories: 12–14 cubic yard tandem dump trucks (estimated 4,000 hours annually) and 20–25 cubic yard end dump trucks (estimated 1,000 hours annually). Contractors must demonstrate at least five years of continuous dump truck hauling experience, maintain valid commercial driver's licenses for all operators, possess a minimum fleet of five tandem dump trucks and three end dump trucks equipped with tarps and safety locks, and carry commercial general liability insurance of $1 million and auto liability of $500,000. Subcontractors are not permitted. Operations are confined to 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless otherwise approved by the CCW point of contact. Contractors are exempt from tipping fees but must obtain a Solid Waste Services Permit Hauler sticker.

Bidders submit hourly rates for each truck category. The contract term is one year with two optional one-year renewal periods. Contract award is projected for October 2026, with notice to proceed anticipated the same month. Requests for clarification are due September 2, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. CT. Bids must be submitted electronically via the City's Supplier Portal or as hard copy sealed envelopes; fax and email submissions are deemed non-responsive. The City reserves the right to engage alternative contractors if dump trucks become unavailable, with back-charges applied to cover cost differences.
