SH 105 West Gravity Sewer Upgrade - La Salle to Highland Hollow

The City of Conroe has issued a solicitation for the SH 105 West Gravity Sewer Upgrade project, spanning from La Salle to Highland Hollow. This infrastructure project involves the installation of approximately 1,370 linear feet of 18-inch gravity sewer and 4,055 linear feet of 30-inch gravity sewer, along with the installation of roughly 24 sewer manholes. The scope of work also encompasses temporary bypass and flow management, traffic control, utility adjustments, and the abandonment and removal of existing sewer systems. The engineering estimated budget is $6,700,000.00, though the final contract will be a lump sum price based on unit price items quoted by the successful proposer. The City will award the contract based on a best value selection process using a 100-point evaluation scale. The weighting is distributed as 40 points for proposed price/cost, 20 points for the quality of goods or services, 10 points for reputation or past relationship with the City, and 10 points for project scheduling, with additional points allocated for personnel, financial capability, and safety records. Proposers must submit a formal response through the OpenGov procurement portal, including a 10% bid bond and, upon award, 100% performance and payment bonds. Key submission requirements include a proposed Gantt schedule, HUB certification, SAM.gov status, and Form 1295. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 2, 2026, with proposal deadlines varying by document instruction but generally falling in mid-to-late September 2026.
