The City of Garland is issuing a Competitive Sealed Proposal for its 2026 Annual Utility Contract, an on‑call utility repair and construction agreement. The contract will cover water and sewer utility repair, replacement, and related construction activities throughout the city. It is a one‑year base period with the option to renew up to four additional one‑year periods, subject to the city’s needs. Bidders must submit a complete proposal by 9/22/2026, include a 5 % bid bond, and be prepared to furnish performance, payment, and maintenance bonds upon award. The city will evaluate offers based on price and weighted non‑price criteria, and may request a best‑and‑final‑offer.
