Citywide Work Orders for Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) Project #7

The City of Houston is soliciting proposals for the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) Project No. 7, a citywide initiative to reduce speeding and cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. The scope of work involves the construction of traffic calming devices, specifically speed cushions, signage, and pavement markings, as well as related pavement, curb, and gutter replacements to ensure positive drainage. Work will be assigned via individual work orders throughout the city and its jurisdictional limits. The estimated construction budget is 3,000,000 dollars, with a required substantial completion timeline of 730 days from the date of commencement. Proposals are due by October 8, 2026, and will be evaluated based on a 105-point scale focusing on technical competence (60 points), cost (40 points), and local preference (5 points). Bidders must meet several pass/fail criteria, including financial stability and MWSBE participation goals. Required submission documents include a bidder's bond for 10 percent of the total bid price, a conflict of interest questionnaire, and a Pay or Play program acknowledgement. The successful vendor will be required to provide performance, statutory payment, one-year maintenance, and one-year surface correction bonds. Payment is subject to a five percent retainage and requires documentation of the use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel.
