Burnet County — CSJ 0151-02-026 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The contract pertains to a state-let construction project in Burnet County, Texas, under solicitation number 0151-02-026, with a letting date in May 2026, administered by the Texas Department of Transportation. The work is federally aided and falls under NAICS Code 237310, involving construction activities within railroad rights-of-way, necessitating close coordination with railroad operations to ensure minimal disruption. The scope includes compliance with TxDOT Standard Specifications, AREMA guidelines, and project-specific special provisions such as 000-001 through 000-031, which mandate nondiscrimination, certified payrolls, on-the-job training, cargo preference, and a schedule of liquidated damages. Performance must align with detailed inspection criteria governed by TxDOT and AASHTO test methods including Tex-554-C, T 350 (MSCR), and T 313 (BBR), with acceptance authority vested solely in the TxDOT Engineer. Key personnel requirements stipulate on-site supervision by a qualified superintendent with full authority over all construction activities, and contractors are responsible for wage compliance, employment record retention for three years post-completion, and submission of certified payrolls. Special contractual conditions include a mandatory Conflict of Interest Certification under Texas Government Code Section 2261.252(b), prohibiting financial interests between the contractor and certain state officials or their immediate family members, and necessitating the filing and periodic updating of Form 1295 if the contract value increases by $1 million or more. While no explicit contract value is provided, submissions require a bid bond and completed forms such as FHWA 1273, with proposals needing to be bound and include all certifications and acknowledgments of addenda. The work is subject to federal compliance mandates such as the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and while no formal evaluation factors, delivery schedules, or payment details are specified, the place of performance is restricted to Burnet County and adjacent areas along SH 29, with seasonal constraints potentially affecting asphalt work timelines. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, though no UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications have been submitted or required beyond a 0% DBE participation goal. All contract documents, including bids and modifications, must be retained for three years after project completion, and adherence to material specifications like DMS-7110 and DMS-82
