Standard Park Identification Signage at Various Locations

The City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department is soliciting sealed bids for the Standard Park Identification Signage project at ten park locations throughout Dallas, Texas. This Request for Bids (RFB) procurement requires the removal of existing sign panels and installation of new single-sided and double-sided park identification signs constructed to specific technical specifications, including monument-style designs featuring 1/4" aluminum faces with 1.5"x3" steel channel perimeter frames and 3" steel square tubing internal support systems mounted on 8" Schedule 40 steel pipe posts. The work includes replacing aluminum panels with steel panels, repainting existing posts, and applying Benjamin Moore and Mathews Paint products per detailed paint specifications at locations including Timberglen Park, Ledbetter-Eagle Ford Park, and Leo V. Chaney Opportunity Park. Bidders must submit sealed bids by Friday, February 13, 2026, at 1:00 PM, with public bid opening and reading at 2:00 PM the same day; a hybrid pre-bid conference is scheduled for Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Dallas City Hall, Conference Room L1EN-D, with registration and MS Teams invitations available through Park and Recreation Project Manager Bruktawit Kebede (Bruktawit.kebede@dallas.gov). The contract completion period is 220 calendar days from notice to proceed, with liquidated damages of $350 per calendar day for failure to achieve substantial completion; all pricing must include labor, materials, freight, handling, applicable taxes, overhead, and profit. Required qualifications include proof of commercial general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence), workers' compensation coverage, business automobile liability insurance ($500,000 combined single limit), performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract sum (if exceeding $100,000), and five percent bid security for bids exceeding $100,000.

This procurement is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Davis-Bacon wage rates and the City of Dallas living wage ordinance, with workers to be paid the greater of the two rates ($22.05 per hour minimum for fiscal year 2025), and equal employment opportunity and minority/women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) participation requirements apply. Bidders are required to submit completed workforce composition forms (OPS-FRM-627 and OPS-FRM-640) documenting ethnic and gender diversity of their workforce across nine employee classifications and reporting historical subcontracting utilization data from their last three public sector projects, though workforce composition reporting is voluntary unless the project is federally designated as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) or state HUB-required contract. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents, and the project is funded through City of Dallas appropriations without specific budget ranges disclosed. The contract is subject to all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including environmental compliance, safety requirements, and tree preservation policies. While no explicit award value is stated, the requirement for 100 percent performance and payment bonds and five percent bid security for contracts exceeding $100,000 suggests the total contract value will likely exceed this threshold.
