LOCAL LET MAINTENANCE CONTRACT, WISE CO, WINTER WEATHER MATERIAL

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a local let maintenance contract to supply winter weather materials for highway maintenance in Wise County, Texas, along US-0081, with an estimated contract value of $121,000. The solicitation is restricted to prequalified contractors and is designated as a waived project under state procedures, meaning it is not subject to competitive bidding requirements for all eligible vendors. Bids must be submitted electronically via the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) and Electronic Bidding System by August 20, 2026, with the contract expected to commence upon award and extend for a full 365 calendar days. Performance will occur across multiple locations within Wise and Jack Counties, with deliveries required to support snow and ice control operations on state roads during winter conditions. Contractors must comply with TxDOT standards for materials and application methods, though specific technical specifications and quality criteria are referenced through official procurement documents accessible only via the ESBD. The contract does not include option periods, and no separate line items, pricing tables, or delivery schedules are detailed in the published notice. The contracting office is located in Fort Worth, with Michael Reynolds II listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries, operating under the Fort Worth District. Payment processing and billing correspondence are directed to the Maintenance Contract Office at the Fort Worth district address, and accounting data is associated with agency code 601 and project number MMC-A00222819. No small business set-aside or socioeconomic goals are designated, with the SBE goal listed at 0.0 percent. There is no formal breakdown of evaluation factors, but given the low dollar value and waived status, award is likely based on lowest price technically acceptable criteria. Packaging, marking, inspection, and acceptance requirements are not specified in the public materials and are presumed to be detailed in full addenda or technical specifications available only through the official ESBD portal. The contract does not reference federal acquisition regulation clauses, special certifications from offerors, or unique entity identifiers in its published form, indicating that compliance with state-specific protocols supersedes federal requirements for this procurement.
