North Water Treatment Plant (NWTP) - Clearwell Transfer Station Roof Replacement

The City of Lubbock is soliciting bids for the replacement of the roof at the Clearwell Transfer Station at its North Water Treatment Plant, with an estimated project budget of $46,000. The solicitation, identified as ITB26-19486-KM, was posted on May 3, 2026, and responses are due by 3:00 PM on May 21, 2026, with submissions accepted electronically through the Bonfire portal or via in-person, mail, or courier delivery to the City’s Purchasing and Contract Management Office. The work must be completed within 60 calendar days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed, and all performance occurs at the designated site in Lubbock, Texas. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability, technical capability, safety record, and prior experience with similar projects, with awards based on a lowest price technically acceptable approach where compliance with specifications is a threshold requirement prior to price consideration. The contract does not follow federal acquisition regulations but instead relies on locally defined clauses addressing permits, protection of subsurface utilities, explosives use, labor hours, Texas sales tax, payment procedures, insurance, bonds, retainage, final payment, liquidated damages, and dispute resolution. Contractors must secure and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, general liability, and auto liability with the City named as an additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis, along with a waiver of subrogation. All subcontractors are subject to the same insurance obligations, and certificates must be submitted prior to contract execution. Prevailing wage rates under Texas state law must be paid to all laborers, and work is restricted to business days unless otherwise authorized, with weekend or holiday work prohibited without written approval. The use of explosives requires prior City consent and prohibits on-site storage, and contractors must designate a local representative available at all times during the project. Bidders are required to submit a bid form with all mandatory information, statutory bonds, insurance certificates, general and special conditions, specifications, plans, and other documents as referenced in the solicitation, with no page or word limits but strict compliance required to avoid disqualification. A conflict of interest questionnaire must be completed if the bidder has any business relationship with the City, and if the contract value exceeds $1 million, requires City Council approval, or involves lobbying, an interested parties certification must be filed with the Texas Ethics Commission. No federal accounting codes, CAGE codes, UEIs, or militarized
