Harris County Precinct 3 is seeking bids for an asphalt rehabilitation project on Memorial Drive between San Felipe Street and west of Chimney Rock, covering approximately 2.63 miles of roadway. The project involves milling the existing 2-inch asphalt surface, applying a new 2-inch HMAC asphalt overlay, performing base repairs in approximately 15% of the roadway, and completing transitional milling at driveways and intersections. Key project deliverables include traffic control, storm water pollution prevention, removal and replacement of ground mount traffic and street signs, pavement markings, and site restoration. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 29, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CST via Microsoft Teams, with attendance encouraged but not mandatory. Bidders must submit questions through the Bonfire online platform by the specified deadline, with the bid due date set for October 13, 2025. The project has a construction timeline of 122 calendar days and will be executed using various specification standards, including the 2023 Harris County Engineering Department Specifications and 2020 Harris County Flood Control District Specifications.

The procurement includes specific Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation requirements, with vendors required to develop an M/WBE Utilization Plan and demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the county's M/WBE goals. Certified M/WBE businesses must have a Significant Local Presence, defined as having a location in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, or Galveston counties, or demonstrating at least three contracts in the market area within the past three years.
