IFB 2026-B13 Fairview Road - Hot Mix Overlay

Hays County is soliciting bids under IFB 2026-B13 for the removal of existing 5-inch pavement and replacement with 5 inches of Type B Hot Mix and a 2-inch Superpave Type D Hot Mix Overlay on Fairview Road in San Marcos, Texas. The project requires milling to a depth of 5 inches across 1,500 square yards, with tie-ins at bridge decks, concrete driveways, and intersecting roadways milled to a 2-inch depth for smooth transitions. A 500-ton overlay of Superpave Type D Hot Mix, preceded by a TRAIL tack coat, is specified, with work to be completed by September 2026 following an anticipated award in July 2026. All work must comply with the 2024 TxDOT Specifications, including Item 341, 344, 351, and SS 3084, and the Contractor must provide daily QA/QC reports, bulk samples, and core samples labeled with the Control-Section-Job identification. Prior to paving, the Contractor is required to distribute fliers and post message boards at both ends of the project to notify residents one week in advance. Roadway striping is excluded as it falls under a separate contract. The award will be based on the total per square yard and tonnage bid across all projects combined, evaluated alongside qualifications, past performance with Hays County, ability to perform, and references, though specific weightings are not provided. The contract is subject to Texas law and all obligations are performable in Hays County, with the County retaining the right to terminate for convenience or cause. Prices offered are firm for the contract term and option years unless impacted by industry-wide changes beyond the Contractor’s control. Bidders must submit a completed bid form, three or more references, and a comprehensive set of certifications including the Code of Ethics, HUB Practices, House Bill 89 Verification, and multiple state and federal compliance affirmations such as the Iran/Sudan/FTO Certification, Israel Boycott Certification, and Firearm Company Discrimination Prohibition Certification. The System for Award Management (SAM.gov) printout confirming active status and absence of debarment is mandatory for all bidders. A 5% bid bond, 100% performance and payment bonds, and proof of Workers’ Compensation, Auto Liability, and General Liability insurance are required before work commences. All materials must
