RFB 2025-072, Operational Street Maintenance - District 2

The City of Waco, Texas has issued Request for Bid (RFB) No. 2025-072 for Operational Street Maintenance in District 2, a comprehensive concrete pedestrian and street improvement project. The procurement seeks a prime contractor to perform concrete infrastructure work including ADA ramps, sidewalk replacement, curb and gutter repairs, concrete fillets, and concrete valley gutters across various streets in District 2. The project requires the prime contractor to self-perform at least 30% of the contract work, with a total contract duration of 240 calendar days and an anticipated completion date of October 27, 2025. Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid Zoom meeting on September 23, 2025, question submissions due by October 8, 2025, and bid submissions due on October 15, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Central Time. Bidders must submit one original and two additional copies of pricing forms through the City of Waco's Bonfire portal, and include a 5% bid bond. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder providing the best value, reserving the right to modify project scope, eliminate or add streets, and adjust the contract as needed.

The RFB does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are not required to have TxDOT qualification, which may broaden the pool of potential contractors. The project includes multiple line items for concrete and infrastructure improvements, covering specific activities such as concrete ramps, topsoil placement, sod installation, mailbox relocation, and various street maintenance tasks. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project appears to be a standard municipal infrastructure maintenance initiative. A liquidation fee of $950 per day will be assessed for project delays. The engineering estimate is listed as "At Cost," which suggests the budget will be determined based on the actual scope of work and the winning bidder's proposed pricing. Potential contractors should carefully review the detailed bid package, project plans, and Zoom meeting information to fully understand the project requirements and submission process.
