Harris County Precinct 2 is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive construction project involving parking lot and drainage improvements at the Seabrook Sports Complex, identified by UPIN 24102MF3CC01. The project will construct an approximately 38,120 sq-ft pervious pavement parking lot using TRUEGRID Permeable Pavers, install new underground drainage systems, create a new drainage ditch, and construct a 6-ft concrete sidewalk connecting to an existing underground storm sewer. Key deliverables include removing existing wooden pole barriers, relocating a dumpster, and implementing specific infrastructure elements with a 90-working day completion timeline. A pre-bid teleconference is scheduled for October 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. CST, though attendance is not mandatory. Bidders must submit questions through the Bonfire online platform and complete all required documentation, including the Texas Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295). The bid requires all-inclusive pricing covering labor, materials, equipment, and associated costs, with quantities estimated and Harris County reserving the right to adjust work volumes.

The procurement includes specific Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goals, with an 11.46% M/WBE goal for the total contract value. Bidders must submit a complete M/WBE Utilization Plan, including certified M/WBE firms, their roles, work percentages, and supporting documentation such as Letters of Intent and certification proof. The county accepts M/WBE certifications from multiple agencies, including the City of Houston, State of Texas, U.S. Small Business Administration, and various minority business enterprise councils. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage regulations, maintain comprehensive insurance coverage (with most individual liability coverage limits at $1,000,000), and adhere to specific safety requirements, including a Heat Protection Safety Plan. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves complex infrastructure development with detailed technical specifications. Bidders must demonstrate capability to execute a sophisticated parking lot and drainage improvement project using innovative permeable paving technology while meeting Harris County's rigorous administrative, safety, and equity participation requirements.
