Jim Wells County — CSJ 0990-02-015 — June 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The contract pertains to a state-let construction project in Jim Wells County, Texas, solicited under number 0990-02-015 with a letting date in June 2026, administered by the Texas Department of Transportation. The work involves the installation, maintenance, and removal of pavement markings and traffic control devices on designated roadways, including FM 1930 and other specified locations, following TxDOT standards such as DMS 8300, DMS-4200, DMS-4300, and the Texas MUTCD. Performance requires strict adherence to federal and state regulations including the Davis-Bacon Act, Buy America provisions, and 23 CFR and 49 CFR requirements, with compliance enforced through certified payrolls, labor standards, and inspection protocols aligned with AASHTO test methods and Tex-533-C for seal coat applications. Contractors must perform at least 30% of the contract value using their own forces, employ a site-based superintendent with full authority, and ensure all subcontractors comply with wage and safety regulations, including adherence to an approved On-the-Job Training Program with specific wage progression tiers. The contract mandates compliance with the Cargo Preference Act for ocean shipments, EEO and DBE standards, and prohibits assignment or subletting without prior written approval. Proposals must be submitted using the official TxDOT form, including unit prices, quantities, and extended amounts, with required certifications such as debarment status, E-Verify compliance, and a completed Bidders Questionnaire due at least ten days before the letting date. All submissions must be signed by an authorized representative and may be submitted as computer printouts or handwritten, with numeric values also written out in words. While estimated contract value, specific CLINs, payment office details, COR/COTR contacts, and formal attachment lists are not provided, performance is tied to project-specific timelines with interim evaluations within 30 days of work commencement and final evaluations at closeout, alongside potential liquidated damages for missed deadlines. All materials must meet reflectivity and durability standards for pavement markings and raised markers, with inspections conducted by the contractor under TxDOT oversight. No completed representations or certifications from offerors are included, and while regulatory citations abound, formal FAR clauses are not enumerated as structured contract provisions; instead, statutory and regulatory mandates are integrated directly into contract expectations through special provisions and compliance directives.
