Prevailing wage rates for Fort Bend County apply. Bidders must demonstrate successful completion of four similar projects in the Houston area within the last three years. The contractor must achieve Substantial Completion within 243 calendar days and Final Completion within 303 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with a required start date within seven days of written notice.

Detailed unit price items span nine major work categories; bidders must submit prices for all listed items.

Bid security is 5 percent of the total bid amount in the form of a certified check, bank money order, or bid bond. Successful bidders must provide Performance Bonds, Payment Bonds, and Maintenance Bonds each at 100 percent of the initial Contract Price where applicable. Economic incentives and disincentives apply: the contractor receives $5,000 per day (capped at $150,000) for early Substantial Completion and incurs $5,000 per day deductions for delay beyond the Substantial Completion deadline with no limit.

The project is developer-financed. Contractors exceeding $1 million must submit Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295 and comply with Texas Government Code Subchapter J, Chapter 552 requirements. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held July 10, 2026 via Microsoft Teams.
