Montague County is soliciting maintenance services under contract number 6502-23-001 for the production, hauling, and delivery of Dense-Graded Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) Type B and D using PG 64-22 binder to designated sites in Montague County, Texas, with the contract to be executed in June 2026. The work is governed by Texas Department of Transportation specifications, requiring strict compliance with test methods such as Tex-201-F, Tex-280-F, Tex-252-F, and Tex-500-C, where materials must meet laboratory density targets of 95.0% to 98.0%, adhere to master gradation limits, and maintain binder content within specified tolerances. Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is permitted up to 20% by weight, but Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) are prohibited. Performance is structured around work orders issued under a firm fixed price model, with delivery locations limited to three sites in Montague County and a maximum haul distance of 125 miles from the contractor’s plant. Delivery timelines require that orders of 500 tons or less begin within seven working days and larger orders within ten working days, with penalties imposed for late delivery during business hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST. Contract administration mandates compliance with a range of federal and state-specific obligations beyond material quality, including the submission of a Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295), participation in E-Verify for all employees working under the contract, and adherence to Title VI nondiscrimination requirements which must be flowed down to subcontractors. Contractors must also certify compliance with prohibitions on foreign adversary equipment under NDAA Sections 889 and 1260H, affirm non-boycott positions regarding Israel and energy companies under Texas law, and ensure no unresolved child support obligations exist. Personnel involved in production must hold TxDOT-approved certifications (Levels 1A, 1B, AGG101), and all testing must be conducted by certified individuals. Payment provisions include a Reimbursable Advance Payment (RAP) of up to 20%, with no required invoices for monthly estimates, while demurrage charges and late delivery penalties are explicitly defined. The estimated contract value is $5 million, as inferred from the $100,000 bid bond
