Utility Improvements for Wildwood, Phase 1

This municipal project in Collin County, Texas calls for the design‑build construction of underground utility infrastructure for the Wildwood Phase 1 residential development, as well as associated paving work. The scope covers water‑distribution, sanitary‑sewer, and storm‑sewer systems (both on‑site residential networks and master networks), including pipe installation, manholes, testing, trench safety, and related civil works. The contract will be awarded to the “most advantageous” bidder; thirteen firms submitted sealed bids ranging from roughly $6.5 M to $9.5 M. • Utility work includes PVC water lines, steel encasement pipe, sanitary‑sewer manholes, storm‑sewer structures, TV and pressure testing, and haul‑and‑stockpile of excavated material. • Paving improvements (separate contract) will address roadways, parking lots, and site grading for the development. • Bid security is ≥ 5 % of the bid amount, performance and payment bonds at 100 % of contract value, and a 2‑year maintenance bond are required. • Proposed construction schedules vary, with most bidders targeting start dates in early September 2026 and construction periods of 120‑180 days.
