Johnson County — CSJ 6500-84-001 — July 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract for Johnson County CSJ 6500-84-001, with a letting date of July 2026, is a local-let maintenance solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Transportation under the NAICS code 237310. It encompasses crack sealing, installation of portable changeable message signs, and use of truck-mounted attenuators on designated highway segments in Johnson County, including US 67, BUS 67, and FM 3391. Work is governed by the TxDOT Standard Specifications effective September 1, 2024, and the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, requiring strict adherence to material and performance standards such as AASHTO T 313 for creep stiffness, Tex-540-C for PG binder separation, and DMS-8600 for barrier reflectors. Performance must occur between October 1 and March 31 unless otherwise approved, with work commencing within seven calendar days of work order issuance and no carry-forward of unused days. All activities are subject to on-site inspection and acceptance by the Engineer, with compliance determined through technical testing and field evaluation. The contract imposes a range of specialized requirements, including mandatory use of E-Verify for all employees, certification of non-boycott of Israel under Texas law for entities with ten or more employees and contracts over $100,000, and a conflict of interest certification prohibiting financial ties to TxDOT leadership. Contractors must submit a Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) if the contract value reaches or exceeds one million dollars and comply with stringent data security protocols under Texas Business and Commerce Code §521.002, ensuring protection of personally identifiable information accessed during contract performance. Traffic control standards require Portable Changeable Message Signs to be deployed 48 hours in advance (7 days on Tier 1 roadways), and nighttime operations necessitate Department-approved multi-directional lighting with specific wattage and wind resistance criteria. No equipment or materials may remain within thirty feet of travel lanes during nonworking hours. Pricing is structured with itemized line items—including mobilization, crack sealing, and TMA usage—but unit prices are presented only in written textual form, preventing calculation of total contract value. Bids must be submitted via the TxDOT pre-bid portal, adhering to prescribed forms and certifications, with awards likely based on responsiveness and apparent low bid under an LPTA-style process,
