Dallas County — CSJ 6496-82-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6496-82-001, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for Dallas County, encompasses local-let maintenance services focused on temporary traffic control operations from May 2026 through a performance window of 340 to 360 days. The work involves installing, maintaining, and removing portable traffic control devices including Portable Changeable Message Signs, barrier reflectors, warning lights, pavement markings, and stationary and mobile TMA units, with all equipment required to meet detailed specifications such as DMS-8600 for reflectors, TMUTCD for signage placement, and DMS-4200 for pavement markers. Performance is strictly tied to field inspections at project sites across designated segments of US67 SBFR and SL12 WBFR/EBFR in Dallas County, where acceptance is determined by the TxDOT Engineer based on standardized tests like DSR and BBR for asphalt binders, Surface Test Type A for ride quality, and compliance with polymer-modified binder requirements. The contract follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation model, where technical compliance is a mandatory threshold and award is determined primarily by the lowest responsive bid, with automatic rejection for noncompliance with key requirements such as DBE commitment, E-Verify participation, bid balance, and absence of collusion. The contract includes extensive compliance requirements mandating adherence to Texas state laws and regulations, including certifications to not boycott Israel or U.S. energy companies, conflict of interest disclosures under Texas Government Code §2261.252(b), child support obligations under Family Code §231.006, and affirmative statements regarding disclosure of public records under Government Code §552. Contractors are required to implement stringent information security controls, including safeguarding TxDOT data, prohibiting use of designated prohibited technologies, and immediately reporting breaches without public disclosure without prior agency consent. Organizational integrity is enforced through Form 1295 certification for interested parties and flow-down obligations for subcontractors to meet all nondiscrimination and cybersecurity standards. While no total contract value is calculable due to the absence of numeric unit prices—replaced instead by written descriptions such as “Three hundred five and No DLRS CENTS”—the document outlines detailed line-item quantities for materials and services, with payment governed by actual documented costs for extra work under $30,000 and potential deductions for peak-hour lane closure fees.
