Karnes County — CSJ 0916-36-023 — June 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The contract pertains to a state-let construction project in Karnes County, Texas, under solicitation number 0916-36-023, with a letting date in June 2026, administered by the Texas Department of Transportation. The work involves the installation, maintenance, and removal of temporary pavement markings, raised markers, and traffic control devices along CR 230 in accordance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and specific Departmental Material Specifications such as DMS-4200, DMS-4300, and DMS-8240/8241. All markings must meet visibility standards of 300 feet during daylight and 160 feet at night, with defects corrected within 30 days of installation at the contractor’s expense. Performance occurs entirely at the project site, with inspections conducted by TxDOT engineers using standards including AASHTO and TxDOT testing protocols for materials like asphalt binder, embankment, and base course, including requirements for density, plasticity index, and rheological properties. Compliance with environmental management plans and stormwater controls is mandated, and all work must align with structural standards for bridge components and safety hardware as defined by MASH and other referenced specifications. Contractors must comply with a range of special provisions covering employment nondiscrimination, affirmative action through on-the-job training, E-Verify certification, and submission of certified payrolls per WH-347 to ensure adherence to prevailing wage regulations under the Davis-Bacon Act. Flow-down obligations require these provisions to be included in all subcontract agreements, and a zero percent DBE participation goal is established under 49 CFR Part 26. The Cargo Preference Act requires the use of U.S.-flag vessels for ocean-shipped materials, and contractors must submit Form 1295 disclosing any interested parties. A schedule of liquidated damages applies for missed milestones, and performance evaluations will be recorded and may affect future award decisions. While no formal contract type, total value, or payment office details are specified, bidding is bound to the state’s official proposal format, with submissions due by the deadline and no amendments or modifications noted. Packaging, barcoding, and military standards are not required, but labeling of traffic control devices must conform to ANSI 107-2004 and TMUTCD, and materials such as guardrails, wire fencing, and epoxy-adhered pavement markers are included in the scope without numeric unit pricing
