Concrete Flatwork for City of Waco

The City of Waco is seeking qualified vendors through a competitive solicitation to provide construction services for concrete flatwork, including sidewalks, drive approaches, curb and gutter, ADA ramps, and water valve/manhole concrete diamonds. The contract is structured as a multi-award, renewable agreement with an initial annual budget of up to 350,000 dollars, extending through five fiscal years ending in 2029, with work to be completed within fifteen business days of each order unless an alternate timeline is agreed upon in writing. The procurement process emphasizes transparency and responsiveness, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting via Zoom scheduled for August 21, 2025, and bid submissions due by September 12, 2025. Bidders must source materials, provide appropriate equipment, and perform all labor necessary for construction, adhering to the City’s specifications and standards, which are incorporated by reference. The contractual framework is governed by local and state laws, notably the City of Waco Standard Specifications for Construction, and includes various compliance requirements such as insurance, indemnification, worker’s compensation, wage rates, and certifications related to debarment, non-collusion, and Texas state laws. The City will evaluate bids based on price, reputation, quality, past performance, and other factors to determine the best value or lowest responsible bid. Payment will be made after work acceptance, with invoices referencing the contract and submitted in accordance with specified procedures. The contract emphasizes that all modifications must be in writing, subcontracting requires prior approval, and the contractor operates as an independent entity, not an agent of the City. Inspection and acceptance occur at the project site, with the City’s Construction Inspector responsible for quality control and final approval, ensuring work complies with technical standards and is properly cleaned and restored upon completion.
