Eagle Mountain Spillway Guardrail Height Adjustment

Tarrant Regional Water District is requesting proposals for Eagle Mountain Spillway Guardrail Height Adjustment services, with proposals due October 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on October 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the TRWD Eagle Mountain Office.

The scope encompasses approximately 6,200 linear feet of existing metal beam guard fence (MBGF) on both sides of the roadway across the dam crest. Work includes loosening and repositioning existing W-beam rail, adjusting rail-to-post connections, raising or replacing posts where necessary, correcting rail alignment, and conducting pre-construction inspections to verify field conditions. The objective is restoring guardrail to a nominal height of 28 inches above the adjacent finished roadway/shoulder surface. All work must conform to current applicable Texas Department of Transportation specifications and standards for MBGF. The contractor must maintain at least one usable travel lane during roadway operations unless otherwise approved.

Pricing is submitted as a lump sum bid for the primary work (MBGF height adjustment per linear foot) with separate unit-price line items for replacement W-beam rail, replacement wood or steel posts, replacement hardware assemblies, adjustment or replacement of transitions, adjustment or replacement of end treatments, and daily traffic control costs. For proposals exceeding $50,000, a bid bond of at least 2 percent of the total bid amount issued by a Texas-authorized surety is required. The successful vendor must provide insurance certificates and payment and performance bonds prior to commencement of services.

Award will be determined by weighted evaluation criteria: Price (40 percent), Project Approach (30 percent), References and Qualifications (20 percent), and Project Timeline (10 percent). Contractor selection is anticipated for November 17, 2026. Questions must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on October 14, 2026.
