Bowie County — CSJ 3591-01-006 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The contract pertains to a state-let construction project in Bowie County, Texas, under the solicitation number 3591-01-006 with a letting date of May 2026, administered by the Texas Department of Transportation. The scope involves the construction of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure across a 13.48-acre area, including shared use paths, sidewalks, curb ramps, traffic signals, pavement markings, signage, and lighting, primarily along SH 93 at FM 3527. All work must comply with state and federal regulations, including the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, ASTM A123 for galvanizing, OSHA hazard communication standards, and the Clean Water Act’s CGP permit. The project is funded through federal-aid highway programs and requires strict adherence to Davis-Bacon wage standards, E-Verify enrollment for all employees, and compliance with anti-retaliation and nondiscrimination provisions. A 30% self-performance requirement applies, and subcontracting is prohibited without prior written consent, with all subcontracts required to incorporate FHWA-1273. The DBE goal for this project is set at 0%, and contractors must submit certified payroll records using OF WH-347 and implement corrective actions within 120 days if performance issues arise. Material specifications mandate the use of reflective signage meeting FHWA alphabet and color standards, pavement markers conforming to DMS-8241/8242, and asphalt materials tested per Tex-554-C, AASHTO T313, and T350 to ensure durability and safety. Environmental compliance includes a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and adherence to EPIC commitments. There are no specified packaging, preservation, or barcoding requirements, nor are FOB terms or delivery schedules explicitly defined. The evaluation process lacks published factors or award criteria, and no contract value is disclosed due to missing numeric pricing data. Proposals must be submitted by the stated deadline through TxDOT’s designated channels, and while no formal contracting officer or technical representative is named, project oversight is handled by TxDOT engineers. Compliance with state laws governing conflict of interest and lobbying activities is mandatory, and contractors must certify they do not use contract funds for lobbying efforts. The contract does not include federal FAR clauses, instead relying on TxDOT-specific special provisions and state regulatory frameworks for governance.
