Hidalgo County — CSJ 1064-01-027 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

Hidalgo County, Texas is the designated place of performance for a state-let construction solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Transportation under solicitation number 1064-01-027, with a letting scheduled for May 2026. The contract falls under the NAICS code 237310 for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction and is structured as a federal-aid project governed by Federal Highway Administration and TxDOT regulations rather than standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses. Key deliverables include the construction of bridge sidewalks, cast-in-place retaining walls, riprap, reinforced concrete pipe, curb and gutter, and traffic signal cable installations, with unit prices provided for some line items and extended prices calculable where both quantity and unit cost are known, though the total contract value remains unspecified. Construction must adhere to detailed technical specifications including AASHTO and ASTM standards for asphalt, aggregates, geomembranes, and pavement ride quality, along with compliance with the National Electrical Code and 23 CFR 635 safety requirements. Contractors are required to certify compliance with Buy America provisions, enforce nondiscrimination under Title VI and Executive Orders, implement an on-the-job training program for disadvantaged groups, and meet a 30% self-performance threshold using their own workforce. Additional obligations include adherence to the Cargo Preference Act by using U.S.-flag vessels for half of ocean shipments, assignment of work only with prior written consent, attendance at an ADA curb ramp workshop by supervisory staff, and submission of certified payrolls and electronic O&M manuals. Proposals must be submitted physically using TxDOT Form 234-B I-61-5M, accompanied by a guarantee in the form of a certified check or money order, and must follow the prescribed format without modification; electronic submissions are not accepted. Inspection and acceptance occur at the project site after installation and a 30-day monitoring period, with final approval granted by the Engineer upon successful test outcomes. All certifications and representations remain uncompleted at the time of solicitation, and no payment details, contracting officer contacts, or accounting data are provided in the documentation.
