DeWitt County — CSJ 0913-00-140 — December 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The Texas Department of Transportation has issued solicitation 0913-00-140 for state-let construction involving miscellaneous bridge maintenance and repairs across various highways in DeWitt County. With a budgeted value of 2,012,400 dollars, the scope of work includes concrete structure repairs, the installation and removal of portable concrete traffic barriers, and the installation of metal W-beam guard fences. Key technical requirements include adhering to the Department's Concrete Repair Manual, utilizing galvanized steel components for bridge expansion joints, and following Texas MUTCD standards for object markers. The project also mandates strict compliance with OSHA regulations for the disposal of painted steel and specific standards for lead-based paint and asbestos-containing materials. Performance is tied to critical milestones, specifically Milestone 13, which must be completed within 22 working days. This milestone carries a daily penalty of 745 dollars for delays and a corresponding daily credit for early completion, capped at 3,725 dollars. To assist with mobilization, a 90-day convenience delayed start provision is available. Because the work involves multiple railroads, including UPRR, BNSF, and CPKC, the contractor must conduct a Railroad Coordination Meeting, provide railroad-specific safety training, and issue necessary insurance certificates for each entity. All progress schedules must be submitted as bar charts, and formal concrete repair procedures must be provided for engineer review at least two weeks in advance.
