Public Water, Drainage & Paving Improvements for Rocchi Road Extension

Harris County Flood Control District is soliciting bids for public water, drainage, and paving improvements for the Rocchi Road Extension project, with bids due August 7, 2026.

The scope encompasses offsite basin improvements including clearing approximately 0.12 acres, excavation of 815 cubic yards, filter dam construction, and drainage work. The project builds on completed work totaling 2.36 acres of clearing and 14,501 cubic yards of excavation. Contractors must comply with detailed engineering specifications covering site grading to benchmark elevations ranging from approximately 175 to 182 feet, SWPPP requirements, dust mitigation during dry conditions, and material disposal per HCFCD Standard Construction Specifications and Details. Critical environmental constraints include a minimum 10-foot buffer from Waters of the U.S. and a 25-foot buffer from wetland areas, with site access restricted to designated routes only. If tree clearing is necessary, contractors must conduct migratory bird surveys with a 10-day clearing window following survey approval. Turf establishment and erosion control measures must be implemented immediately after grade approval.

Contractors must provide 48-hour advance notice to HCFCD before excavation begins and coordinate with Orange County Engineering for any required driveway permits. The TRE pit location is available for excavation for up to 24 months after plan approval, after which the excavation area may be reassigned to another development. The bid set, finalized July 30, 2026, includes engineering plans and specifications referencing project numbers P2206070053 and P2308170179, with benchmark elevations and survey point tables for contractor verification.
