Hood County — CSJ 2463-01-014 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The contract pertains to a state-let construction project in Hood County, Texas, under the oversight of the Texas Department of Transportation, with a solicitation number of 2463-01-014 and a letting date of May 2026. The scope involves executing highway construction work in compliance with federal-aid program requirements, including adherence to Davis-Bacon wage standards, OSHA safety regulations, and Texas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications. Contractors must perform at least 30% of the work themselves, submit certified payrolls using Optional Form WH-347, and ensure compliance with nondiscrimination and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements, though the DBE goal for this project is set at 0%. Key compliance items include certifications regarding debarment, suspension, lobbying activities, and E-Verify enrollment, with mandatory disclosures required if any certifications become inaccurate post-submission. Technical performance is governed by specific material standards such as AASHTO T313 for bending beam rheometer testing, ASTM D6084 for elastic recovery, and Tex-350 for MSCR evaluation of polymer-modified binders, along with Best Management Practices for erosion and sediment control. Contract administration responsibilities are managed by TxDOT personnel Theresa Poer and Federico Hernandez, who serve as primary points of contact for contractor inquiries, though their official designations as COR, COTR, or PCO are not explicitly stated. While the contract incorporates federal-aid provisions such as Form FHWA-1273 and cargo preference requirements, no formal contract type is specified, and the estimated contract value remains undisclosed due to the absence of numeric pricing details. Proposals must be submitted using the official TxDOT form via the designated FTP portal or Project Information Dashboard, with late submissions deemed nonresponsive. The period of performance includes interim evaluations on the anniversary date of contract award, with liquidated damages applicable for delays. Acceptance of work occurs at the project site after final inspection by the Executive Director or designee, and noncompliance may trigger corrective action plans or referral to a Performance Review Committee. Packaging, marking, invoicing systems, accounting codes, and payment office details are not provided, and no evaluation factors or source selection criteria are outlined in the documentation. The contract places emphasis on regulatory compliance, equitable employment practices, and rigorous technical standards over commercial or financial terms.
