McLennan County — CSJ 0909-00-104 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The contract solicitation 0909-00-104 issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for McLennan County under the State-Let Construction program outlines a state-funded infrastructure project with a focus on pavement, signage, traffic control, and culvert construction in and around McLennan, Texas. Performance is expected to occur at designated project sites including locations such as RR Milepost 125.660 in Falls County, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by TxDOT engineers following established state standards including TMUTCD, DMS-8300, and T-standards. The work involves significant quantities of asphalt milling, pavement markings, rumble strips, concrete culverts, traffic signage, and temporary traffic management, though many line items lack numeric pricing, rendering the total contract value indeterminate. Proposals must be submitted in physical form using the official TxDOT bid form without alteration, accompanied by a bid bond and required certifications, with a strict deadline of May 1, 2026, and no electronic submission options permitted. Contractors are bound by stringent compliance requirements including adherence to Texas prevailing wage laws, mandatory use of E-Verify for all new hires, and certification of non-discrimination under federal and state civil rights statutes, including Title VI and 49 CFR 21. A Certificate of Interested Parties must be filed at contract execution for contracts exceeding $1 million, and contractors must affirm no conflict of interest with TxDOT officials or their families. The contract enforces non-discrimination against firearm-related entities and mandates child support compliance certification, while explicitly setting a 0% Small Business Enterprise participation goal. Environmental performance is governed by adherence to approved layout sheets and waste management protocols, though specific packaging, marking, or preservation standards are absent. Evaluation for award centers on quality, safety, and timeliness of performance without defined weighting or rating scales, and while a trade-off approach is implied through emphasis on technical compliance and past performance review, no official award methodology like LPTA is designated. The contract includes no formal FAR clauses but replaces them with state-specific special provisions, and no COR, COTR, or PCO contacts are listed, with payment and accounting details also unspecified.
