Throckmorton County — CSJ 6502-27-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract solicitation 6502-27-001 issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for Throckmorton County is a local-let maintenance contract focused on the production and delivery of hot-mix asphalt materials under work orders with strict performance timelines. The contract requires delivery of asphalt to designated sites including the TxDOT Maintenance Yard in Throckmorton and key intersections such as SH 222 & CR 195 and US 183 & FM 209, with a maximum delivery distance of 125 miles from the plant. Work must commence within 180 calendar days of award and may be extended to 540 days, with delivery schedules tied to order size: small orders under 500 tons must be delivered within seven working days, and larger orders within ten working days, all during standard business hours Monday through Friday. Delivery is assumed to be FOB destination, with the contractor responsible for shipping costs included in the bid price, though no formal FOB designation is stated. The contract imposes rigorous technical standards aligned with TxDOT specifications including Tex-204-F, Tex-236-F, Tex-241-F, and others governing mixture design, aggregate gradation, asphalt binder content, density testing, and performance assessments such as the Hamburg Wheel Tracking and boil test. The use of recycled asphalt shingles is prohibited, and recycled asphalt pavement is capped at 20% unless approved by the Engineer, with only PG 64-22 performance grade binder permitted. All mix designs require prior approval and must originate from TxDOT-certified laboratories. Personnel must hold specific certifications including Level 1A and Level 2 technician qualifications, along with aggregate certification, to conduct required QC/QA testing. Compliance with state-specific certifications is mandatory: contractors must submit Form 1295 for interested parties, certify compliance with E-Verify for all new hires, affirm nonparticipation in boycotts of Israel and energy companies, and adhere to nondiscrimination requirements under Title VI. No formal contract value is discernible due to the absence of numeric unit prices, though payment is processed through direct reconciliation of delivered quantities with no formal invoicing required. Delivery locations are inspection and acceptance points, with the contractor responsible for initial quality control and the Engineer holding final acceptance authority. The contract is administered without formal designation of a COR, COTR, or PCO, with Brian Beaty serving as the primary point of contact for deliveries
