Rehabilitation of Water Storage Tanks - Package 16

The City of Houston is soliciting bids under solicitation number CB-2026-0052 for the rehabilitation of water storage tanks across four different site locations. The project aims to ensure continued compliance with TCEQ requirements and state inspections while maintaining reliable water system capacity. The scope of work includes structural repairs, protective coating upgrades, equipment replacements, safety improvements, and site restoration. Bidders must provide all necessary labor, materials, and services, including the submission of shop drawings, product data, and construction schedules. The response deadline for this solicitation is August 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Award decisions will be based on the selection of a responsive and responsible bidder, potentially utilizing a trade-off approach where the City may consider the overall best bid rather than strictly the lowest net bid. A significant emphasis is placed on Minority, Women, and Small Business Enterprise (MWSBE) participation, with qualitative evaluation of good faith efforts. Technical requirements include strict adherence to ASTM, SSPC, and NACE standards for material quality and coating application. Contractors are required to provide a bid bond or certified check for 10% of the total bid value and must maintain Builder’s Risk Insurance covering 100% of the contract price. Performance is subject to inspection at both the origin and destination, with final acceptance based on in-place density tests and compliance with the City of Houston Building Code and National Electrical Code.
