Cooke County — CSJ 6502-24-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract pertains to the procurement of dense-graded hot-mix asphalt (HMA) materials under a maintenance program for Cooke County, Texas, administered by the Texas Department of Transportation. The solicitation, numbered 6502-24-001 and set for a June 2026 letting, establishes a firm fixed-price contract with an initial term of 180 calendar days, extendable up to 540 days through two mutually agreed extensions. Work is performed under individual work orders, with minimum production rates of 100 tons per day for orders up to 500 tons and 1,000 tons per day for larger orders. Deliveries are scheduled to occur at three designated locations in Cooke County—near Bulcher, Callisburg, and Valley View—with an alternative option for TxDOT to pick up material directly from the contractor’s plant, effectively making the plant a place of performance for that option. All HMA must comply strictly with TxDOT test methods including Tex-204-F for mixture design, Tex-241-F for gyratory compaction, Tex-242-F for Hamburg Wheel testing, and others governing aggregate properties, asphalt content, gradation, and moisture content. Materials must originate from TxDOT-approved producers and meet all quality specifications without deviation. Contractors are required to comply with a range of Texas-specific statutory and regulatory provisions, including nondiscrimination obligations under Title VI and 49 CFR 21, E-Verify certification for all employees working under the contract, and a prohibition against participating in the boycott of Israel. A Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) must be submitted upon contract execution if the value equals or exceeds $1 million, or if subsequent modifications trigger that threshold. Contractors must also certify they hold no prohibited financial interests involving TxDOT officials as defined under Texas law, and that they are not delinquent in child support obligations. Bids must be submitted on the official TxDOT proposal form, with no electronic submission method specified; physical delivery to the Letting Official by the deadline is required. While the contract structure resembles a firm fixed-price arrangement, no explicit contract type designation is given, and no formal evaluation factors, award methodology (such as LPTA or trade-off), or price breakdowns are provided—unit pricing is only listed in written form as "DOLLARS and CENTS."
