The City of Dallas Department of Transportation and Public Works is seeking bids for the Longhorn Ballroom Redevelopment Project's Infrastructure Component, specifically a landscape improvement project on Corinth Street from South Riverfront Boulevard to UPRR. The procurement involves constructing new planting areas, installing trees (including American Sycamore and Cedar Elm), shrubs, ornamental grasses, sod, and a comprehensive new irrigation system with subsurface drip lines and pop-up spray heads. The project requires a total contract time of 90 calendar days, with completion targeted for Summer 2026, and includes a mandatory one-year landscape maintenance period. Interested contractors must submit electronic bids through the City of Dallas' solicitation website (https://dallascityhall.bonfirehub.com) by 1:00 PM on Friday, November 21, 2025, with a public bid opening at 2:00 PM the same day. A mandatory pre-bid conference will be held online via Microsoft Teams on Thursday, November 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM, and project-related questions must be submitted to the Project Manager, Samrawit Haile, by Friday, November 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM.

The contract includes several key requirements for potential bidders, including compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations and Davis-Bacon Wage Rates. Contractors must perform at least 25% of the work with their own workforce and maintain specific insurance requirements, including an Umbrella Liability Limit of $2,000,000. Wage rates will be the higher of the Davis-Bacon Rates or the City's living wage of $23.06 per hour, with a penalty of $60 per day for each worker paid below the stipulated rates. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the project is located in Council District 2 and appears to be part of a broader urban infrastructure improvement initiative. The contract is situated in Dallas County, Texas, and contractors will be required to adhere to the City of Dallas 2021 Addendum to the North Central Texas Public Works Construction Standards. Although the exact budget range is not specified in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the landscape improvements suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment.
