Shackelford County — CSJ 6500-46-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract pertains to the production and delivery of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and asphalt concrete patching materials for maintenance projects in Shackelford and Haskell Counties, Texas, under Solicitation Number 6500-46-001, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation. The work is governed entirely by TxDOT-specific technical standards, including test methods such as Tex-200-F, Tex-210-F, Tex-410-A, and Tex-500-C, which dictate material composition, gradation, binder content, moisture resistance, and quality control procedures. All materials must be produced by certified personnel and meet stringent specifications for aggregate properties, including Los Angeles abrasion, sand equivalent, and crushed face counts, with final acceptance determined by TxDOT engineers at either the production facility or delivery site. The contract operates on an as-needed basis, with estimated quantities totaling 5,700 tons across several HMA types and patching materials, and allows for delivery via pickup by TxDOT vehicles, effectively establishing FOB Origin terms, with no freight costs borne by the contractor. The performance period extends up to 183 calendar days initially, with the potential for mutual extension to a maximum of 549 days. Contractors are subject to numerous mandatory certifications and administrative requirements unique to Texas state procurement rules, with no reliance on standard Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses. These include mandatory use of the E-Verify system to confirm employee eligibility, submission of a Conflict of Interest Certification at least ten days before bid submission, and a Child Support Statement upon contract execution. A Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) must be filed at contract execution and again if the contract value reaches or exceeds $1 million, and contractors must comply with Texas nondiscrimination laws under 49 CFR Part 21, extending these requirements to all subcontractors. The contract prohibits any interest or financial tie between contractor personnel and TxDOT officials, and non-compliance with any certification—particularly E-Verify or anti-boycott stipulations—is considered a material breach. Pricing is requested in a “DOLLARS CENTS” format without actual figures provided, rendering the total contract value undeterminable. No formal evaluation factors, socioeconomic set-asides, UEI or CAGE codes, or federal accounting identifiers are included, and all administrative, technical, and compliance obligations are derived from TxDOT’s internal specifications and Texas state law, reflecting a
