The project is governed by Texas Government Code Chapter 2269 and Local Government Code Chapter 252, and includes Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage compliance — a standard federal-nexus requirement for public works.

Excavation totals 9,981.43 cubic yards for roadway and 7,063 cubic yards for channels. Comprehensive testing, quality control, environmental protection, stormwater and erosion management, and traffic coordination are required. The contractor must also verify compliance with statutory certifications including no boycott of Israel, no business with Iran or Sudan, and no discrimination against firearm entities.

The estimated construction budget is $6 million. The contract term is 210 consecutive calendar days from notice to proceed (mid-September 2026), with substantial completion targeted for April 2027. City Council approval is anticipated September 1, 2026.

Bids will be evaluated using "best value" criteria under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, considering price, bidder experience and reputation, quality of goods and services, safety record, proposed personnel, and financial capability. Each bid requires a bid bond, certified check, or cash equal to 5 percent of the bid amount.
