LOCAL LET MAINTENANCE CONTRACT, WALLER CO, DITCH CLEANING AND RESHAPING

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a Local Let Maintenance Contract to perform ditch cleaning and reshaping along US 290 in Waller County, Texas, with an estimated contract value of $212,400. The work is scoped to restore drainage functionality through the physical excavation and reshaping of roadside ditches within a 365-day performance period following contract award, and only prequalified contractors are eligible to submit bids. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, with a bid submission deadline of August 11, 2026, and all proposals must be submitted electronically through the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) and Electronic Bidding System. The place of performance is specifically along US 290 in Waller County, and the contract is administered by the TxDOT Houston District, with payment and oversight handled through the Maintenance Contract Office located at 7600 Washington Ave, Houston, TX. A $4,000 performance guaranty is required to ensure timely and quality completion, though no detailed line-item pricing, clause numbering, or specification references are provided beyond general adherence to TxDOT standards. No small business set-asides or socioeconomic requirements are applicable, as the SBE goal is set at 0.0%, and the award basis is presumed to be lowest price technically acceptable given the routine nature of the maintenance work, though this is not formally stated. The contract does not include options, special personnel requirements, or unique clauses beyond standard maintenance contract protocols, with inspection and acceptance expected to occur at the project site. All documentation and submission requirements are controlled through TxDOT's official electronic bidding platforms, with no physical submission alternatives specified.
