Wise County — CSJ 6499-79-001 — June 2026 Letting — State-Let Maintenance

The contract pertains to state-let maintenance work in Wise County, Texas, under solicitation number 6499-79-001, with a letting date in June 2026 and an expected performance period beginning shortly after award. The Texas Department of Transportation is the procuring agency, and the work involves highway, street, and bridge maintenance activities governed by the 2024 Standard Specifications for Construction and Maintenance of Highways, Streets, and Bridges. Key scope elements include flexible pavement repair, planing, asphalt paving using PG 64-22 and PG 70-28 binders, placement of Superpave SP-C and SP-C SAC-B mixes, application of tack coats and seal coats, and implementation of standardized traffic control measures consistent with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Quantities are specified for various materials and equipment, such as over 10,000 tons of asphalt mix, 3,200 gallons of tack coat, and hundreds of work zone signage units, but unit prices are not numerically provided, rendering the total contract value uncalculable. Performance must meet stringent quality standards including pavement smoothness tolerances of 1/8 inch over a 10-foot straight edge and compliance with ANSI 107-2004 for high-visibility apparel. Contract administration requires adherence to extensive compliance and reporting obligations. Offerors must certify compliance with federal prohibitions on foreign adversary equipment under NDAA Sections 889 and 1260H, affirm non-participation in boycotts of Israel and U.S. energy companies, enroll in E-Verify for all employees and subcontractors, and submit Conflict of Interest and Certificate of Interested Parties documentation. Security requirements mandate safeguards for all TxDOT data, with flow-down provisions to subcontractors and mandatory breach reporting. Liquidated damages are structured in tiers from $500 to $2,000 per day based on contract value, and a single one-year extension option may be exercised by TxDOT. Contract oversight will be conducted by designated TxDOT personnel including Michael Reynolds, Hailu Ayalew, and Elijah Zelenov, acting as the Engineer with full authority to inspect, accept, or require corrective action. Submissions are expected in bound physical form with required bonds and certifications, though pre-bid coordination occurs through online dashboards and plan access portals.
