All material must be hauled away and properly disposed of. Work is scheduled for January through March 2027 during the District's winter pipeline shutdown, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Offerors must submit a cover letter, qualifications and references (minimum of three), project approach, completed forms including Non-Collusion Affidavit, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, Texas compliance forms, Form 1295 (required for contracts over $150,000), and insurance certificates.
