Panola County — CSJ 0919-13-020 — June 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a state-let construction project in Panola County, Texas, under solicitation number 0919-13-020, with proposals due by June 1, 2026. The project, designated as CSJ 0919-13-020, involves infrastructure construction on CR 430 and includes work such as excavation, concrete placement for bridge abutments and approach slabs, prestressed concrete girder installation, pavement marking, asphalt maintenance, and traffic control measures consistent with TxDOT procedures and federal-aid requirements under FHWA 1273. All work must comply with TxDOT Standard Specifications, Special Provisions, and material standards including DMS-4400, DMS-7215, and ASTM and DMS test methods for asphalt binders, pavement markings, guard rails, and embankment fill. Performance is subject to strict inspection and acceptance criteria conducted on-site by the TxDOT Engineer, who retains sole authority to approve final work completion. The contract requires full-time on-site supervision by a qualified superintendent with authority over all construction operations and prohibits subcontracting or assignment without prior written approval from the contracting officer. Contractors must adhere to federal EEO requirements under Executive Orders and the ADA, flow down EEO provisions to all subcontracts, and comply with the federal DBE program under 49 CFR Part 26, though the DBE participation goal is set at 0%. Recordkeeping mandates include retention of certified payrolls for three years after project completion and full audit access for federal and state auditors, with noncompliance exposing the contractor to potential False Claims Act liability. Liquidated damages apply for delays, and performance evaluations will impact future contracting eligibility. While line items are listed—such as tons of flex base, cubic yards of concrete, and square feet of pavement marking—unit prices are provided in textual form only, rendering the total contract value uncalculable from the available data. All submissions must use required TxDOT forms, be submitted physically via cashier’s check, teller’s check, or bank money order, and be received by the stated deadline to be considered responsive. No contract clauses, attachments, packaging, or marking requirements are explicitly detailed in the provided documents.
