ITB – Construction of Hike and Bike Trail along Faulkey Gully for Harris County Precinct 3

Harris County Precinct 3 is soliciting bids for the construction of a hike and bike trail along Faulkey Gully, extending from Spring Cypress Road to Guernsey Drive in Texas. This project, identified as Job No. 25/0300, requires construction within the Harris County Flood Control District Right-of-Way and mandates strict adherence to the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Bidders must provide a bid guaranty in the form of a bid bond or a bank cashier's check for 5 percent of the bid amount, and the successful awardee must provide a performance and payment bond within ten days of the award. The bid response deadline has been extended to October 27, 2025, with all submissions required through the Bonfire portal. A critical requirement of this contract is compliance with the Harris County Minimum Wage Policy, which establishes a mandatory wage floor of 21.65 dollars per hour for all contractors and subcontractors, adjusted annually via the MIT Living Wage Calculator. Bidders must submit a signed self-certification of compliance; failure to do so results in automatic disqualification. Contractors are required to maintain payroll records for six years and allow audits by the County. The project also emphasizes coordination with local utility authorities and requires specific notifications to the Flood Control District prior to the start of construction.
