Body
BACKGROUND
This action will authorize the rejection of all bids received for solicitation CIZ24-AVI-3112 for construction services for the Dallas Executive Airport Streetscape Enhancements Project.
The intent of this project is to enhance quality of life and pedestrian safety through construction of sidewalks and pedestrian lighting; develop bicycle paths with connections to existing and planned trails; develop landscape features; and create a distinct “Dallas Executive Airport” identity weaving throughout. The project will develop standards for the design and construction of these enhancements and other related improvements for roadways immediately adjacent to the airport.
The solicitation was open to the public from September 27, 2024, through October 25, 2024. Two sealed bids were received and were opened on October 25, 2024.
After opening and reviewing the bids, the Department of Aviation determined that the bids were significantly above the project budget. It is therefore in the best interest of the City to reject all bids, and for the Department of Aviation to review and modify the specifications before re-advertising.
