Body
Background:
On January 5, 2026, the City issued BID #26-011 for Boring and Trenching. Bid notifications were posted online. Interested vendors were contacted and advertisements were placed in the Dallas Morning News. The bid closed on January 29, 2026. Two vendors submitted a response. Departments reviewed the submissions and selected Onyx Paving & Utility based on the lowest responsive bid overall. The award will be for a one-year initial term. The award also includes two additional one-year renewal options, if mutually agreed upon by the City and the vendor, for a potential three-year total contract not to exceed $2,001,000.00.
This vendor has not been used by Carrollton in the past. Based on references from other municipalities, Onyx Paving & Utility, LLC is in good standing with the City of Rowlett and Mission Site Services.
