The Harris County Flood Control District is soliciting bids for general watershed repairs across five major bayou systems in Harris County, Texas: Vince Bayou, Armand Bayou, San Jacinto/Galveston Bay, Clear Creek, and Brays Bayou. The solicitation, identified as 26/0233 and posted on July 17, 2026, with a response deadline of August 10, 2026, is managed under NAICS code 237990 and is administered through the Bonfire procurement portal.

Work must comply with ASTM and TCEQ specifications, Texas Accessibility Standards, ADA requirements, and local design guidelines, with particular emphasis on concrete strength (minimum 4,000 PSI), proper reinforcement cover, and slope limitations for ramps. Inspections and final acceptance occur at the installation site and are governed by the City of Houston’s Engineering Department, which retains authority to approve or reject work based on compliance with published standards. Technical specifications are detailed across a series of engineering drawings, including details for modified storm sewer inlets, manhole frames, grate assemblies, and turtle exclusion fences.

No socioeconomic set-asides, UEI or CAGE code certifications, small business claims, or COR/COTR contacts are identified. Marking requirements for hardware components mandate compliance with City of Houston specifications, with identification placed on the top of frames and either the top or bottom of grates and covers.
