Burleson County — CSJ 6499-08-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract solicitation under TxDOT number 6499-08-001 is for local-let maintenance work in Burleson County, Texas, with a letting date in May 2026, focusing on lead paint removal and repainting of steel structures at two bridge locations along SH 36—Second Davidson Creek and Brushy Creek. The scope requires complete adherence to TxDOT Standard Specifications, including installation of temporary traffic control devices per Standard Sheet BC(5), use of Federal Standard 595C color 35630 for paint application, and compliance with OSHA Hazard Communication and AMPP SP10 surface preparation standards. Work must be sequenced with signage and barricades first, followed by abatement, painting, and final cleanup, with weekly schedules submitted for approval and coordination with local agencies to minimize public disruption. The contract includes stringent safety and environmental protocols, particularly for hazardous material handling, spill response, and data security, requiring contractors to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect TxDOT-sensitive information and immediately report any breaches. The solicitation mandates several certifications and special provisions not typically found in federal contracts, including nondiscrimination compliance under 49 CFR 21, conflict of interest disclosures prohibiting financial interests with TxDOT officials or their immediate family, and a certification affirming non-participation in boycotts of Israel. A Schedule of Liquidated Damages applies daily penalties ranging from $760 to $1,340 depending on contract value tier. Contractors must also submit a Certificate of Interested Parties for contracts valued at or above $1 million and maintain records per Texas Government Code requirements, extending these obligations to all subcontractors. While the contract lists line items for materials such as flex base, concrete, and traffic control assemblies, critical pricing data is incomplete with several unit prices listed only as “DOLLARS CENTS,” making the total estimated value unverifiable. The place of performance is strictly limited to Burleson County, Texas, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site. The award will be based on responsiveness and lowest bid, though the state reserves the right to reject any bid in its best interest. Submission requires hard-copy proposals using TxDOT’s official forms, with electronic shop drawings submitted as PDFs, and no digital portal is designated for final bid submission. Key TxDOT contacts include Jeff Miles, Rene Pequeno, and Joel Withem, who will oversee scheduling, compliance, and day-to-day coordination.
