Bowie County — CSJ 6501-55-001 — June 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6501-55-001 is a maintenance-focused procurement issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for work in Bowie County, Texas, with a letting date of June 2026. It falls under NAICS code 237310 for highway and street construction and is categorized as a state-level local-let contract. The scope includes the installation, replacement, and maintenance of highway signage, structural steel components, portable message signs, temporary traffic control devices, and related civil works such as concrete installation and sign mounting. Materials must comply with Texas Department of Transportation specifications including DMS-7110 for aluminum sign blanks, DMS-8300 for sign face materials, ASTM A123 for galvanizing, and ASTM A1011 for steel sheeting, ensuring durability and adherence to federal and state standards. All work must conform to 23 CFR Part 635, 29 CFR Part 1926, and 43 TAC §§9.23–9.27, which govern safety, contractor evaluations, performance reviews, and appeals. Contractors are required to meet Davis-Bacon wage requirements and are subject to withholdings for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as outlined under federal regulations. While the contract references compliance with 2 CFR 180 and 2 CFR 1200 regarding debarment and suspension, no explicit certifications or representations regarding small business status, UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic designations were submitted or included. Delivery and performance are focused on project sites in Bowie County, specifically along US 59 and FM 1734, with acceptance controlled by the TxDOT Engineer. No formal evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award such as LPTA or trade-off are explicitly defined, though the emphasis on lowest bid and rejection of bids exceeding internal estimates suggests a cost-driven award process. Invoicing methods, payment office details, accounting codes, and contracting officer representative contacts are not provided. Packaging, preservation, and marking requirements are limited to sign face compliance with FHWA colors and sheeting types, with no logistical or external labeling specifications. The absence of complete pricing data, formal contract type designation, and structured attachments or evaluation criteria indicates a streamlined procurement relying on compliance with established state and federal construction protocols rather than complex competitive scoring.
