ITB - Park and Road Improvements at Eisenhower Park (2024) for Harris County Precinct 1 (FEMA)

Harris County Precinct 1 is seeking bids for park and road improvements at Eisenhower Park through a federally funded project (UPIN 20151MF3RN01) under an Invitation for Bids (IFB) process. The project encompasses comprehensive infrastructure repairs, including concrete and asphalt pavement replacement, ditch improvements, slope paving, gate repair, sheet piling installation, striping, storm debris removal, and replacement of four cross culverts. The contract requires a 110-consecutive calendar day completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed, with work typically occurring Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CST. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 22, 2025, via Microsoft Teams, followed by an in-person site visit on December 23, 2025. Written questions must be submitted by December 26, 2025, with bid submissions due by January 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. Bidders must comply with Davis-Bacon wage requirements, provide a five percent bid bond for contracts over $100,000, and submit comprehensive documentation including a Contractor Profile, References, and Statement of Bidder Qualifications.

The procurement encourages Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation, with bidders required to demonstrate affirmative steps to utilize minority and women-owned businesses. Certified M/WBE firms must maintain a business address in specific Texas counties or demonstrate prior local performance. The project is funded through FEMA and subject to federal compliance regulations, including 2 CFR 200 requirements. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and provide performance and payment bonds within ten days of award. The bid requires compliance with Harris County's minimum wage policy (currently $21.65/hour) and includes liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day for delays beyond the specified completion timeframe. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure improvements suggests a significant project investment, with potential contract values likely in the hundreds of thousands to potentially millions of dollars, depending on the extent of required park and road reconstructions.
