LOCAL LET MAINTENANCE CONTRACT, EL PASO CO, CULVERT CLEANING

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a Local Let Maintenance Contract to perform culvert cleaning along Interstate 10 in El Paso County, with an estimated contract value of $555,100. The project is classified as a waived initiative and is open only to prequalified contractors, with performance spanning 365 calendar days across multiple locations on IH-10 within the county. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) and Electronic Bidding System by the deadline of August 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time. The contract is expected to be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis, consistent with TxDOT’s maintenance contracting practices, though the official contract type is not explicitly confirmed in the available information. A performance guarantee of $11,000 is required to ensure compliance with work standards, and all technical specifications, inspection criteria, and contractual terms are governed by the official documents posted on the ESBD and ESB platforms, which serve as the sole authoritative sources for addenda and updates. Contract administration is managed by the TxDOT El Paso District Maintenance Contract Office, with payments to be remitted to the designated address in El Paso, Texas, and inquiries directed to the primary point of contact at (915) 790-4200 or Omar Madrid at (915) 790-4331 for technical questions. No detailed breakdown of line items, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or specific standards such as TxDOT or AASHTO specifications are included in the public solicitation materials; all such details are accessible only through the official bidding portals. The solicitation carries no set-aside provisions, with an SBE goal of 0.0%, and does not include explicit evaluation factors, contract clauses beyond the general title, or representations from offerors in the provided data. While no contracting officer or technical representative is named, oversight responsibilities fall to the El Paso District office, and all work must be performed in accordance with TxDOT’s maintenance protocols as defined through the electronic bid system. The absence of structured attachments, special requirements, or FAR clause fill-ins indicates a streamlined, locally administered maintenance action focused on timely execution with reliance on prequalified contractor experience and adherence to state-mandated procedures.
