IH-10 and FM 464 water line extension project

The City of Seguin and Seguin Economic Development Corporation are procuring construction services for the IH-10 and FM 464 Water Line Extension Project in Grimes County, Texas. The project involves the installation of approximately 6,545 linear feet of 16-inch PVC water main, 185 linear feet of 8-inch PVC water main, and 4,411 linear feet of 4-inch PVC conduit. Key deliverables include 10 fire hydrant assemblies, 14 16-inch gate valves, 1 8-inch gate valve, and 1 2-inch automatic flush valve, along with utility crossings and infrastructure repairs. The project has a strict construction timeline of 210 calendar days, with substantial completion expected by February 28, 2026, and final completion by March 30, 2026. Sealed bids are due on July 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for July 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Bidders must submit a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the total bid amount and will need to provide performance and payment bonds each for 100% of the contract price.

Bidders must comply with several state regulations, including Texas House Bill 89 (anti-Israel boycott verification) and Senate Bill 13 (energy company boycott prohibition). While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, contractors will need to provide conflict of interest and interested parties certifications. The project includes a bid allowance of $250,000 for potential additional costs and will be funded through the City of Seguin. Bid documents are available on the BidNet Direct website, requiring bidders to register to access specifications and plans. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities, with the final contract award decision resting with the City Council. The total project scope suggests a substantial infrastructure investment, though a precise total project value is not explicitly stated in the provided documentation.
