Williamson County is soliciting bids for the reconstruction of CR 267 from 3,100 feet south of Equine Road to Larkspur Park Blvd, with an estimated contract value of $727,782. The project requires contractors to provide materials, experienced crews, and equipment to perform full road reconstruction in accordance with Texas Department of Transportation standards adopted September 1, 2024, including excavation, base and asphalt placement, curb installation, drainage work, restoration of disturbed areas with topsoil and seeding, and traffic control compliance. Work must be completed with substantial completion by September 30, 2026, and final completion within 40 working days after notice to proceed, which must be issued no later than five working days after contract award. Bids must be submitted electronically or via sealed hard copy to the Williamson County Purchasing Department by August 5, 2026, and must comply with detailed technical, insurance, bonding, and certification requirements. Contractors must submit a 5% bid bond, 100% performance and payment bonds, and a 20% warranty bond for two years, along with certificates of insurance naming the County as an additional insured, including worker’s compensation, commercial general liability, auto liability, builder’s risk, and $5 million umbrella coverage. All labor must be paid at prevailing wage rates as defined by Texas law, and contractors must adhere to strict safety protocols under OSHA and environmental guidelines, including air quality compliance. The County may award preference to local businesses within 3% of the lowest bid and to those exceeding state or federal environmental standards. Contract terms include absolute indemnification for personal injury and property damage claims, absolute liability for employee injuries, mandatory arbitration under Texas law for unresolved wage disputes, and termination rights for cause or convenience with thirty days’ notice. Funding is contingent upon annual appropriations, and the County retains the right to inspect and test materials at any point—from source to job site—with the contractor bearing costs for failed tests. All invoices must reference the purchase order and contract number and be sent to the County Auditor’s Office. Bidders must certify compliance with Texas Government Code provisions prohibiting boycotts of Israel, energy companies, and firearms, avoid collusion or antitrust violations, disclose any five-year history of criminal, civil, or licensing actions, and verify they are not Federally excluded parties.
