Pleasure Island Parking Lot Pavement Improvement Project

The City of Port Arthur solicited sealed bids for the Pleasure Island Parking Lot Pavement Improvement Project, with bids due October 28, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, a deadline that has passed as of October 29, 2026. The source file describes a non-mandatory pre-bid conference, yet states that bids from non-attendees will be rejected and returned unopened. The pre-bid conference was held October 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., so this requirement has also passed. The metadata lists Johnson County, Texas (FIPS 48251) as the jurisdiction, while the bid package identifies Jefferson County. No set-aside, preference program, or sole-source restriction appears in the source.

The scope covers parking lot reconstruction and site work, including demolition, 184 square yards of 8-inch reinforced concrete pavement, 101 square yards of 4-inch reinforced concrete sidewalk, 6,195 square yards of 2-inch HMAC parking pavement, lime- and cement-stabilized subgrade and sub-base work, storm sewer and drainage swale grading, stone riprap, electrical conduits, striping, hydromulch seeding, precast safety end treatments, and temporary erosion control. Two covered picnic areas, four galvanized steel picnic tables, and one porta potty enclosure are included. Bidders must provide one original and one copy to the City Secretary's office with bid security of at least 5% by check, cashier's check, or bid bond. Payment and performance bonds at 100% of contract price are required above $50,000 and $100,000 respectively. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation with waiver of subrogation, commercial general liability of $500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on contract amount, $500,000 combined single limit automobile liability, and contractual liability coverage.

Contract completion is 90 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $420.00 per day for delays. Five percent retainage applies to periodic progress payments, and the City will pay within 30 calendar days of estimate submission, subject to its regular meeting schedule. The City is tax-exempt and will provide an exemption certificate for qualifying materials. The source does not state a contract value.
