Collin County — CSJ 6497-79-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6497-79-001 is a maintenance project managed by the Texas Department of Transportation for Collin County, Texas, with work scheduled for let in June 2026. The scope centers on culvert replacement along FM0455, approximately 0.30 miles west of FM2478, involving the installation of a 4ft x 3ft concrete box culvert spanning 55 linear feet along with two wingwalls, removal of existing inlet and headwall structures, placement of 64 cubic yards of riprap for stone protection, 14 cubic yards of embankment, and restoration of 43 square yards of pavement. The work must adhere to TxDOT’s Standard Specifications dated September 1, 2024, and comply with the Texas Manual on Uniform Control Devices for traffic control, ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 for high-visibility apparel, and other referenced standards including OMS-4200 and OMS-8240 for pavement markings. Performance is tied to the project site in Collin County, with all inspection and acceptance conducted on-site, governed by measurable criteria such as International Roughness Index values, material properties for flexible base and asphalt mixtures, and adherence to test methods prescribed by TxDOT. Contractual requirements are structured around TxDOT-specific special provisions and bid codes rather than federal FAR clauses, with mandatory certifications including E-Verify compliance for all employees, a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise commitment, conflict of interest disclosure, and affirmation that the contractor does not participate in prohibited foreign adversary boycotts or maintain ties to entities listed under federal sanctions. Contractors must also certify they are not delinquent in child support payments and will not discriminate against firearm-related entities. Security requirements mandate implementation of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for TxDOT data, immediate reporting of cybersecurity incidents, and prohibition against using technologies identified as prohibited under state guidelines. The bid must be submitted in original paper form using TxDOT FORM 234-B with an authorized bid guaranty, and while unit pricing is partially listed, the majority of line items lack complete pricing data, preventing an accurate calculation of total contract value. The basis of award is undefined, and no formal evaluation factors or weighting system are specified, though bids may be rejected for imbalance, exceeding estimates, or suspected collusion. Payment procedures and administrative contacts are referenced generally but no remit-to
