Heart of the Falls Sidewalk Project

The City of Wichita Falls is requesting bids for design and construction of new sidewalks in the Heart of the Falls Revitalization area under RFB 32600003, with bids due July 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The project is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and is subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements — a compliance filter for federal labor standards.

The scope encompasses approximately 947 linear feet of new sidewalks across 13 separate locations on Filmore, Taylor, and Polk streets to fill existing gaps and provide accessible paths. Each location is a distinct line item for pricing, but the contract is awarded on an all-or-none basis as a single package purchase to the lowest responsible bidder.

Contractors must obtain required permits within 10 working days of award, begin work within 14 working days, and complete the entire project within 60 working days of award. Liquidated damages of $100 per day per location apply for delays beyond the 60-day deadline. Contractors must contact Texas811 for utility line marking prior to work commencement and schedule final inspections with the City; inspection fees of $50 apply for inspections beyond three per location.

General liability insurance must provide minimum limits of $100,000 per occurrence and $300,000 aggregate; workers' compensation insurance must cover all employees and subcontractors. Bid prices must include delivery costs, exclude sales tax, and remain firm for 60 days. Bid submissions must include W-9 form, EIN or Social Security Number, current mailing address, remittance address, and sample invoice. Bids are submitted to Jennifer Babineaux at the City of Wichita Falls Purchasing Department, 1300 7th Street Room 2B18, Wichita Falls, TX 76301.
