The City of Edinburg, Texas is requesting proposals for the Veterans Blvd. Drainage Improvements Phase II project, a stormwater infrastructure initiative adding a new detention pond along Alberta Road with stormwater relief improvements, with proposals due August 25, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

The scope includes mobilization, erosion and traffic control, clearing and grubbing, sidewalk and asphalt removal and replacement, storm sewer installation (24-inch and 42-inch reinforced concrete pipe with rubber gaskets), detention area excavation of approximately 65,400 cubic yards, hydromulch application, and site grading.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: 50 percent on itemized and total proposed price, 20 percent on qualifications and experience with similar projects, and 30 percent on business longevity, team resumes, reference letters, and past performance evaluations. Respondents must provide a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the bid price. If the contract exceeds $25,000, performance and payment bonds in the full amount of the contract price are required. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation at statutory levels and comprehensive general liability with minimum limits of $250,000 per person/$500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $100,000/$100,000 or combined $500,000 for property damage, with the City named as additional insured.

A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for August 10, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. at City Hall.

The City reserves the right to hold proposals for 90 days without action and reject any or all proposals.
