Harris County — CSJ 0508-07-296 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

Harris County has issued a state-let construction solicitation under number 0508-07-296 for work on SPUR 330 FRONTAGE ROAD, with a letting date of May 2026 and a submission deadline set for the same date. The Texas Department of Transportation is the procuring agency, administering this federally aided project under a NAICS code of 237310 for heavy and civil engineering construction. The scope of work includes pavement marking and signing installation meeting precise performance standards, such as chromaticity and brightness for white, yellow, and black markings, retroreflectivity thresholds measured per ASTM E1710, and installation only on dry pavement verified by plastic sheet testing. Materials must comply with TxDOT and MASH specifications, and contractors are required to use TTI-certified mobile units and equipment calibrated to ASTM E1347/E1348/E1349 standards. All work must adhere to federal-aid compliance frameworks, including Form FHWA-1273 and special provisions 000-001, 000-002, 000-007, and 000-022, with contractual obligations flowing down to all subcontractors. The contract imposes strict workforce and regulatory requirements, including mandatory use of E-Verify for employment eligibility verification under Texas Transportation Code, compliance with the Cargo Preference Act for vessel use, and adherence to 49 CFR Part 26 for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation despite a 0% goal. Contractors must certify against conflicts of interest with TxDOT officials, disclose any lobbying activities using OMB Form 0348-0046, and certify compliance with child support obligations under Texas law. Security requirements mandate the protection of TxDOT data under state codes, with safeguards applied throughout all subcontracting tiers. Quality control is contractor-responsibility, with inspection data submitted for government acceptance, while final acceptance authority rests with TxDOT. Although no contract value is published due to unit prices expressed only in narrative form, bid bonds are calculated as 2% of the department’s engineer’s estimate. All submissions must use official TxDOT forms, be computer-printed, and meet formatting guidelines, though submission method and electronic portal details are unspecified. The performance period lacks explicit start and end dates, but a three-year warranty begins after written acceptance of work.
