Milwaukee Ave. Reconstruction (4th St. to Marshall St. )

The City of Lubbock, Texas is seeking competitive sealed proposals for the Milwaukee Avenue Reconstruction project, spanning from 4th Street to Marshall Street. The project involves comprehensive road reconstruction, including transforming the avenue into a 5-lane section with curb and gutter, driveways, and 6'-10' sidewalks. Key deliverables include excavation, concrete pavement construction, roadway illumination, electrical conduit work, and infrastructure improvements. Contractors must submit detailed documentation, including a statement of qualifications, safety record, and proof of workers' compensation coverage. The evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: 60 points for price, 30 points for contractor qualifications, and 10 points for construction time. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for August 19, 2025, via Zoom, with proposals due on August 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The City Council will review proposals on September 23, 2025, with a total project completion timeline of 516 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the proposed subcontractor form includes a checkbox for minority-owned businesses. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds if the contract price exceeds certain thresholds and comply with prevailing wage rates and local regulations. The project requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Workers' Compensation Insurance. The total estimated contract value is $17,349,030.03, with liquidated damages of $300 per day for substantial completion delays and $100 per day for final completion delays. Potential contractors must complete a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire and demonstrate compliance with various state and local government code requirements. The City aims to select the offeror providing the best overall value, considering factors beyond the lowest price, with a focus on the contractor's experience, capability, and proposal strength.
