Hidalgo County — CSJ 6503-20-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6503-20-001, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for Hidalgo County, is a local-let maintenance project scheduled for award in June 2026, with a NAICS code of 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction. The scope involves a range of construction and maintenance activities including pavement patching, grading, excavation, ditch maintenance, guardrail repairs, culvert installation, and pavement marking application using specifications aligned with TxDOT standards such as DMS-4200, DMS-8240, and DMS-8242, with requirements for reflective tabs, color accuracy, and visibility distances. Work will be performed across multiple roadways in Hidalgo and Cameron counties, including IH-2, US 281, FM 1846, and FM 106, with inspections and acceptance occurring at project sites or district offices under TxDOT oversight. Contractors must comply with performance evaluation standards tied to Quality, Safety, and Timeliness, with failure to meet expectations potentially triggering Corrective Action Plans or referral to a Performance Review Committee. The contract requires strict adherence to non-discrimination policies, E-Verify enrollment for all employees, and ongoing compliance with Texas public information laws and child support certification requirements. The contract is structured as a potential Firm Fixed Price arrangement with unit pricing for over a dozen line items including cleaning and sealing joints, trench excavation, concrete duct bank installation, and removal of existing utilities, though specific unit prices are not numerically disclosed and extended values cannot be calculated. Bid submissions must follow a prescribed format using official TxDOT forms, be accompanied by a bid bond, and be submitted in hard copy to the Letting Official by the deadline, with no electronic submission options recognized. Key certifications include exclusion from foreign adversarial affiliations under NDAA Section 889, disclosure of ownership interests in TxDOT personnel, and certification against participation in boycotts of Israel. Contractors awarded contracts exceeding $1 million must submit Form 1295 detailing interested parties and must implement data security safeguards to protect TxDOT information, extending these requirements to subcontractors. There are no specified contract options, delivery terms, or payment office details, and no formal COR, COTR, or PCO contacts are provided, though a single point of contact is listed for the Pharr District. The basis for award appears to lean toward Lowest Price
