The City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works is seeking design‑build firms to partner with community‑based organizations on neighborhood‑scale street, sidewalk, and pedestrian‑safety improvements located within the public right‑of‑way. The program uses a 50/50 cost‑share model (DPW and the community partner) and will be administered under a master agreement covering multiple small projects throughout 2026. Firms must demonstrate relevant experience, financial capacity, and meet XBE participation goals. Proposals are due March 27, 2026, with a pre‑proposal meeting held March 5, 2026. • Eligible work includes street resurfacing/patching, sidewalk panel replacement, and pedestrian safety devices within the public right‑of‑way. • Cost‑share: 50 % DPW funding, 50 % contributed by the community‑based organization. • Evaluation weighted 30 % experience, 30 % financial capacity, 40 % project approach & manager, plus 10 % XBE participation. • Total program budget ≈ $5 M for 2026; individual project values are modest, with pricing ranges required but full pricing not mandatory at submission.
