Proposals must be submitted via the Workday eProcurement system by October 7, 2026, and must include a bid security bond equal to 5% of the greatest amount bid. Technical requirements include adherence to TXDOT specifications, Harris County Prevailing Wage Rates, and strict material storage and labeling standards for reinforcing steel and cement.
