Hidalgo County — CSJ 6499-30-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract pertains to local-let maintenance work in Hidalgo County, Texas, under solicitation number 6499-30-001, with a letting date of June 2026, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation. The work involves performance of transportation maintenance activities in accordance with TxDOT’s Standard Specifications effective September 1, 2024, and includes adherence to material standards such as DMS-4200 for pavement markers and DMS-6130 for bituminous adhesive. Inspection and acceptance are primarily based on field samples taken at the hot-mix plant using standardized tests including Tex-540-C, AASHTO T315, T313, and T350, with contractor responsibility for ensuring compliance, conducting required tests, and providing records. The place of performance is specifically designated as Hidalgo County, and seasonal constraints apply to certain tasks, such as crack sealing, limited to the window of November 1 through February 28. The solicitation requires contractors to comply with a range of special provisions and certifications unique to TxDOT, including E-Verify for employment eligibility, certifications regarding non-boycott of Israel and energy companies if employing ten or more individuals, conflict of interest disclosures, child support compliance, and public information retention obligations for contracts exceeding $1 million. Security requirements mandate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for TxDOT data, immediate reporting of cybersecurity incidents, and prohibition of usage of technologies on TxDOT’s restricted list, extending these obligations to all subcontractors. A Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) must be submitted upon award if the contract value exceeds $1 million and resubmitted for any subsequent increase of $1 million or more due to change orders or extensions. Liquidated damages are imposed at $760 per day for contracts under $1 million and $968 per day for contracts between $1 and $3 million. Pricing data is incomplete, with placeholder values labeled “DOLLARS CENTS” for key items like mobilization, barricades, and crack sealing, and anomalies such as a negative unit price for one item suggest the bid form remains unvalidated. No formal federal acquisition regulation clauses are applied; instead, the contractual framework is governed entirely by state-specific provisions, with no mention of FOB terms, payment office details, COR/COTR information, or electronic invoicing systems. Proposals must be submitted physically
