Kimble County — CSJ 6499-25-001 — July 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract for Kimble County, identified as CSJ 6499-25-001 with a letting date in July 2026, is a local-let maintenance solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Transportation under NAICS code 237310 for roadway maintenance services within Kimble County and adjacent areas including US 377, RM 479, FM 2169, and US 83. The estimated contract value is approximately $20.98 million, funded through TxDOT budget lines A00220198 and 6499-25-001, with work primarily consisting of strip mowing and full-width mowing across thousands of acres and mobile traffic management operations. Performance is tied to specific highway segments within the right-of-way, with work initiated upon issuance of individual work orders and required to be completed within the number of working days specified in each order. Contractors must submit a work schedule within seven calendar days of starting each cycle, and performance evaluations are required annually for contracts exceeding one year. Contractors are subject to a comprehensive set of TxDOT-specific requirements that govern compliance, safety, and administrative accountability, replacing standard FAR clauses with localized provisions. Key obligations include full compliance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and industry standards such as ANSI-8800 and MASH for traffic control and pavement marking visibility, which must remain effective for 300 feet in daylight and 150 feet at night. Mandatory certifications require use of E-Verify for all employees, adherence to nondiscrimination rules under Title VI and the Texas Public Information Act, and certification that the contractor is not owned or controlled by a foreign adversary as defined under federal law. A conflict of interest certification is required, prohibiting financial ties to TxDOT officials, and a Certificate of Interested Parties must be filed for contracts over $1 million. Liquidated damages of $760 to $968 per day apply for delays depending on contract value, and a one-year contract extension option may be exercised with mutual agreement and available funding. All deliverables are subject to inspection and acceptance at the job site by the Engineer, with noncompliance triggering corrective action plans. Invoicing is processed monthly, with no electronic systems like WAWF specified, and payment is contingent on timely submission. No standardized federal evaluation factors, socioeconomic set-asides, CAGE or UEI requirements, or detailed packaging specifications
