Tom Slick Park

The City of San Antonio Public Works Department is seeking bids for a construction project at Tom Slick Park through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. The procurement solicits comprehensive construction services with an estimated budget of $484,000, requiring substantial project completion within 270 calendar days. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation through CivCast, including bid bonds, experience qualifications, and utilization plans, with bids accepted from February 24, 2025, until March 18, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting will be conducted via WebEx on March 4, 2025, at 1:30 PM CT, with all bidder questions due by March 10, 2025, at 4:00 PM CT. The contract is structured as a unit price or lump sum arrangement, with established prices remaining valid throughout the contract duration, and the project involves hazardous environmental work and requires two project signs. Prevailing wage rate compliance is mandatory, and bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, documentation requirements, and demonstrated capability to execute the project successfully.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference provisions designed to support small and disadvantaged businesses. Specifically, the solicitation incorporates the Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) Program requirements, Local Preference Program provisions, and Veteran-Owned Small Business Preference Program considerations. These provisions aim to create opportunities for historically underutilized businesses and local enterprises to participate in the bidding process. The city emphasizes that while project quantities are provided as estimates, the contract award does not guarantee the contractor will receive all work outlined in the IFB. The total project budget of $484,000 represents the estimated funding available for the Tom Slick Park construction project, with potential for adjustments based on final bid submissions and scope clarifications. Prospective bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with the specified requirements, including submission of all necessary documentation through the CivCast platform.
