A city staff member opened the City of Dallas public bid session on April 18, 2025, announcing submissions for five construction requests for bid, several construction professional-services solicitations and multiple procurement solicitations, and reading the names of firms that submitted proposals and the totals reported on the bid sheets.

The announcement matters because the listed solicitations include multiple traffic-signal and intersection-improvement projects across the city, a geotechnical services contract related to the Dallas Police Department training center at the University of North Texas at Dallas, architectural/engineering qualifications for a vehicle maintenance facility and a public-art conservation statement of qualifications. The winning bids and selected consultants will determine contractors for near-term street and public-works projects and for professional services the city intends to hire.

During the roughly 28-minute session, the staff member read the list of respondents for each solicitation and, where available, the dollar amounts as recorded. For construction bids, the staff member said five requests for bid were opened, including: CIZ24-TRN-3131 (intersection improvements at Shear Street), CIZ25-TRN-3164 (traffic-signal construction at locations including Jefferson Boulevard at Adams and Bishop avenues), CIZ25-TRN-3152 (East Boulevard and South Marshall Avenue group), CIZ25-CRN-3154 (Anabo Avenue South / South Marshall Avenue area), and CIZ25-TRN-3165 (Gaston Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard / Pine Street group). Responding firms listed in the transcript include Axis Contracting; Palmer Oil; Remcon LLC; Here Telecommunication (variously rendered in the transcript); Road Solution LLC; Roadway Solution Inc.; Broadway Solution Inc.; Select Maintenance LLC; Texas Standard Construction LTD; Futures FutuRities LLC (transcript spelling); and others.

Some bid totals were read clearly in the transcript (for example, Axis Contracting was read as $4,083,001.42 and Remcon LLC as $4,000,114.06), while other dollar figures in the recorded feed appear garbled or inconsistent and could not be verified from the transcript alone (the transcript sometimes lists implausibly large numbers or includes repeated punctuation). Where figures in the transcript were unclear, this article does not report a corrected amount; the city’s official bid tabulation should be consulted for final, verified totals.

The session also listed professional-services solicitations and respondents: a two-step RFQ/RFP for bridge and overstructure engineering (respondents named include ABM & Associates Inc., BCC Engineering, Console Engineering LLC and CPNY Inc.); a geotechnical engineering services solicitation for the Dallas Police Department law enforcement training center (respondent: Alliance Geotechnical Group Inc., as read); and an RFQ for architectural, engineering and consulting services for a center and vehicle maintenance facility (respondents include Gates Engineering Associates Inc., Reed Zola’s Inc., Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc., Maryman Bates and Derson Inc., and PBK, as read).

Procurement solicitations read during the session included a chemical supply bid for liquid chlorine (respondents Brandtard Southwest Inc. and PVS DX Inc.), a pump repair and parts solicitation (respondents Island Electric Motor Service Inc., Anytime Pump Service, and CIE Smith Pump Company Inc.), a sports-center concession management RFP (respondents included Between the Lines Sports Stripping LLC, Dallas Tennis Association and Impact Activities, as read), a competitive-sale proposal for risk-management insurance consultant services (respondents listed include Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services and Marsh USA LLC), and a public-art conservation statement of qualifications (respondents include Adapt Readapt Preservation and Conservation LLC, Art Viva LLC, Bronze Conservation Services and others).

The staff member closed by directing viewers to the city’s website to review the official bid materials: www.dallascityhall.com, choosing "Watch City Meetings Online" then the bid/purchasing tab. The transcript supplied for this article is the verbatim readout of the bid opening; some company names and dollar figures were rendered inconsistently in the recording and are reported here as they were stated in that record. For official award decisions and verified bid totals, consult the City of Dallas Purchasing Office’s published bid tabulations and contract award notices.

Ending: The open-bid reading is a public record of who submitted proposals and the preliminary totals recorded by staff at opening. Awards, contract negotiations and any clarifications of bid totals will appear later in the city’s procurement postings and contract award documentation.
