Culberson County — CSJ 6497-65-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

Culberson County — CSJ 6497-65-001 is a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintenance solicitation with a letting date in May 2026, targeting local-level highway maintenance services in Culberson County, Texas. The contract employs a unit-price structure for services such as full-width mowing, ditch maintenance, asphalt paving with tack coats, flexible base material delivery, and mobile traffic management operations, with estimated quantities provided but no total contract value disclosed. Performance is expected to occur at designated work sites within Culberson County, with a maximum project duration of 365 calendar days, and work may be issued through a call-up system. The contract mandates strict compliance with Texas-specific regulations including 43 TAC §9.15, §9.23, §9.24, §9.25, and §9.27, as well as OSHA safety standards, ANSI 107-2004 for high-visibility apparel, and Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for all traffic control measures, with performance evaluated under Performance Review Plans and Corrective Action Plans. The solicitation imposes comprehensive compliance obligations beyond typical maintenance contracting, requiring multiple affirmative certifications including non-discrimination under Title VI and 49 CFR 21, prohibition of boycotts against Israel and energy companies under Texas state law, mandatory use of E-Verify for all personnel, and certification of no conflicts of interest with TxDOT officials. Contractors must also submit Form 1295 for interested parties if the contract exceeds $1 million, maintain public information records in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 552, and implement cybersecurity safeguards for any data accessed. Proposals must be submitted electronically through TxDOT’s Electronic Bidding System, adhering precisely to the official format without modification; failure to comply results in nonresponsiveness. The bidder’s questionnaire must be filed at least ten days in advance, and all submissions require a bid bond. No formal evaluation factors, cost analysis, or award methodology are disclosed, though the department retains discretion to reject low bids for errors or exceeding estimates. Payment is expected monthly, with no formal invoicing system named, and all corrective work must be performed at the contractor’s expense. No packaging, marking, or shipping requirements are specified, as the contract centers on on-site maintenance rather than material delivery.
