IH 35 Bridge Lighting

Project Description: Request for Proposal – RFP 2024-077, IH 35 Bridge Lighting. Sealed Proposals will be accepted at the City of Waco’s Operations Center, 1415 N. 4th Street, Waco, TX until 2:00 P.M., Thursday, November 14, 2024. The existing bridge lighting system for the IH35 frontage road bridges were installed in 2015. Currently approximately 50% of the bridge lighting is not working. Additionally, the system requires specialized equipment and processes to access, which make it difficult to regularly maintain. The City of Waco desires to increase durability against weather and moisture; improve usage and maintenance; and improve reliably of the bridge lighting system. The City of Waco, TX is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to purchase bridge lighting fixtures and controllers, including all components. As part of this Proposal, the vendor shall develop the installation and wiring diagrams for these components, completed by a licensed professional engineer in the state of Texas, and colored rendering of the proposed design. The vendor should submit a detailed proposal that includes the description, design, cost, delivery, references, experience, and operation/maintenance of the material and services. The City of Waco will evaluate the proposals based on the quality, cost-effectiveness, responsiveness, and compliance of the vendor. Once the City of Waco completed the Request for Proposals process, selects a vendor, and receives council approval, the City of Waco will purchase the equipment. The vendor will then deliver the equipment to the City of Waco where the City of Waco will inspect if for any deficiencies. The vendor shall also be available during the installation of the equipment to provide support. For more detailed information, see this project page at https://waco-texas.bonfirehub.com/portal.
