PW Fort Worth Green Ribbon US 287 & Berry St. , City Project No. 105831

The City of Fort Worth, Texas is soliciting bids for the Fort Worth Green Ribbon project located at US 287 & Berry Street (City Project No. 105831), a comprehensive public infrastructure and art installation initiative. The procurement involves public art fabrication and installation, steel support structures, reinforced concrete foundations, landscaping, and concrete work. Contractors must submit electronic bids through the Bonfire Procurement Portal by 2:00 P.M. CST on January 22, 2026, with a mandatory prebid conference scheduled for January 14, 2026 at 10:00 A.M. CST. The City will evaluate bids based on the lowest price, with consideration given to bidder qualifications and competencies. Specific bid requirements include submission of a bid bond equal to five percent of the maximum bid price, prequalification documentation, and compliance with technical specifications outlined in the project manual and final plans. Bidders must complete an itemized proposal workbook covering twenty distinct bid items including site preparation, landscaping, irrigation, electrical work, and related infrastructure components.

The procurement appears to have provisions supporting small business participation, with the City's Small Business Ordinance establishing goals for contracts over $100,000. Nonresident bidders must provide evidence of authority to conduct business in Texas and may be required to underbid Texas resident contractors by a state-mandated differential. Contractors must perform at least 35 percent of the total contract value using their own organization, with potential for subcontractor involvement pending City approval. No specific budget range is explicitly stated, but the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. Successful bidders must execute contract documents within 14 days of award notification and provide a Certificate of Insurance meeting city requirements. The project will be funded through city-reserved revenues, with contract award expected within 90 days of bid opening and requiring City Council authorization. Technical compliance, competitive pricing, and demonstrated capability will be critical factors in vendor selection.
