Water Plant No. 36

The City of Conroe Engineering Department is soliciting Competitive Sealed Proposals (CSP 2024-28) for the construction of Water Plant No. 36, located at FM 1484 near Technology Parkway in Conroe, Texas. With an estimated engineering budget of $13,000,000.00, the project involves the installation of a 2,000 gpm Jasper well, two 750,000-gallon AWWA D110 Type III prestressed concrete storage tanks, a booster station, and a precast control building. The comprehensive scope of work includes civil, water system, storm water, and electrical works, as well as the implementation of SCADA and I&C field instrumentation. All construction must adhere to 2024 TxDOT specifications, NEC electrical codes, and OSHA trenching guidelines, with a strong preference for domestic materials. Proposals are due by October 15, 2026, at 1:00 pm via the OpenGov portal. The City will award the contract based on a best-value evaluation using a 100-point scale. Required submission documents include a cover letter, acceptance of conditions, key personnel resumes, and a proposed Gantt schedule for substantial completion. Bidders must provide a bid security of 10% of the bid amount, and the successful contractor will be required to furnish performance, payment, and maintenance bonds. Payment is processed through monthly applications, with specific milestones for I&C system programming based on factory and onsite acceptance testing. Final system acceptance requires a continuous seven-day failure-free operational period.
