Request For Qualifications for Civil Engineering Services

Gregg County, Texas is seeking qualified contractors for a road repair project on Cherokee Street (PCT2) through a Request for Bid (RFB) #2025-26. The project involves repairing approximately 5,625 linear feet of a 24-foot wide county road, with two distinct bid schedules: Schedule A focuses on stabilizing one-third of the base with a two-course seal coat installation, while Schedule B involves stabilizing the entire length with county forces performing subsequent prime and asphalt overlay work. Key deliverables include pulverizing and cement stabilizing existing surface materials, installing asphaltic oil and aggregate surface treatment, performing full-depth asphalt patching, installing concrete collar details on existing storm drainage, and completing HDPE culvert and manhole/valve box adjustments. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 PM CST on September 15, 2025, with a public bid opening at the same time. The contract must be completed within sixty (60) calendar days from the work order commencement date, with liquidated damages of $200 per day for delays beyond the completion deadline.

Contractors must comply with Texas Department of Transportation 2014 Standard Specifications and the Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The project requires performance and payment bonds for contracts exceeding specific thresholds, along with comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability ($1,000,000), automobile liability ($600,000), and workers' compensation. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, contractors must maintain traffic flow with only one lane closure permitted and coordinate with utility companies for infrastructure conflicts. Bidders must provide a certified or cashier's check or bid bond equal to 5% of the greatest amount bid, payable to Gregg County. The county reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive informalities in the bidding process. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed specifications and two-schedule approach suggest a substantial infrastructure investment for road rehabilitation and improvement.
