Webb County — CSJ 6499-00-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

This contract, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation under solicitation number 6499-00-001, is a routine maintenance agreement for work in Webb County, Texas, scheduled for award in June 2026. The scope encompasses a range of highway maintenance activities including vegetation control, cleaning, traffic control setup in compliance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and tree and brush removal across eight designated tracts along Highway SL0020 and associated routes. Performance must begin within five calendar days of state notification, with all work restricted to daylight hours, excluding Sundays and state holidays unless explicitly authorized. Contractors are required to adhere to TxDOT’s Standard Specifications and applicable state administrative codes, with strict accountability for safety, quality, and timeliness—these are the sole evaluation factors for award, though no formal weights or scoring methodology are specified. The contract operates under a unit-price bidding structure with no explicit total value disclosed, and extensions are permitted only once and cannot exceed the original duration, with potential unit price adjustments tied to the Federal Consumer Price Index. Special requirements include mandatory compliance with cybersecurity protocols outlined in Article 20, obligating contractors to protect TxDOT data, prohibit use of designated restricted technologies, provide immediate breach notifications, and assume full liability for breach-related costs including credit monitoring and forensic investigations. A designated English-speaking on-site representative and a valid communication email are required throughout the contract term, and contractors must conduct site familiarization prior to each month’s work. The contract enforces strict ethical standards, including certifications against conflicts of interest, bid collusion, and misuse of confidential information, with Form 1295 submission mandated if the contract or any modification exceeds $1 million. Contractors must also comply with DOT nondiscrimination regulations and E-Verify enrollment, ensuring subcontractor adherence, and must provide a bid bond and, for any extension, a performance and payment bond. All work is performed in Webb County, and inspection and acceptance are conducted by TxDOT engineers at the work site, with final acceptance determined administratively. Delivery terms, FOB conditions, packaging specifications, and formal CLINs are not defined, and although attachment sheets for tree removal, temporary protection, and summary data are referenced, no formal list of file attachments is structured. The contract uses TxDOT-specific specifications rather than standard FAR clauses, and payment and accounting details, including remittance addresses and TAS/ACRN codes, are not included in the documentation.
