Navarro County — CSJ 6496-74-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract for Navarro County under solicitation number 6496-74-001 is a maintenance project let by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) with a letting date in June 2026, focused on pavement repair and infrastructure upkeep along Highway IH0045. Work scope includes the application of Superpave asphalt mixes, flexible pavement repairs, planing and texturing of existing surfaces, installation of temporary and permanent pavement markings, and deployment of traffic control devices such as barricades, message signs, and temporary mobile barriers. All materials must comply with TxDOT’s Design Manual Series specifications—DMS-8240, DMS-8241, DMS-8243 for markings, and DMS-4200 and Item 672 for raised markers—with strict visibility standards requiring 300 feet during daylight and 160 feet at night. Performance is restricted to weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., with seasonal limitations affecting work windows, and contractor mobilization and traffic handling activities must commence within seven days of work order issuance. Compliance with special provisions takes precedence over standard specifications, including mandatory adherence to cybersecurity protocols requiring administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for TxDOT data, strict prohibition against using technologies listed in the Texas Statewide Plan for Prohibited Technologies, and immediate reporting of any data breaches. Contractors must submit a Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) if the contract value meets thresholds, ensure all subcontractors adopt the same compliance obligations, and participate in DHS E-Verify for work authorization. Nondiscrimination requirements under 49 CFR 21 and Title VI extend to subcontractor selection, and financial certifications include conflict of interest declarations, child support compliance, and disclosures regarding public information. Awards will likely follow a low-price technically acceptable model, with the lowest compliant bid preferred, though the state reserves the right to reject any bid deemed contrary to its interests. Payment details, accounting codes, and invoicing systems are not specified, while inspection and acceptance occur on-site by the Engineer, who retains final authority over material quality and work execution based on precise criteria for asphalt mixtures, surface treatments, and planing operations. No formal evaluation weights, contract type, total value, or delivery terms like FOB are explicitly defined, but all deliverables are governed by TxDOT’s Standard Specifications and enforceable through liquidated damages for delays
