Navarro County — CSJ 6495-84-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6495-84-001, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for Navarro County, is a local-let maintenance agreement set for a May 2026 letting, with performance strictly limited to roadway maintenance and traffic control operations within Navarro County, Texas, including key areas such as IH0045. Work is governed by the TxDOT Standard Specifications effective September 1, 2024, supplemented by specific special provisions that supersede standard requirements where applicable. Key deliverables include mobilization for callout and emergency responses, stationary temporary traffic management, lane closures, and compliance with stringent performance evaluation protocols that assess quality, safety, and timeliness through interim and final reviews. Failure to meet performance standards triggers mandatory Corrective Action Plans and potential sanctions, including suspension or referral to the Performance Review Committee. The contract imposes several mandatory certifications and compliance obligations unique to Texas state law, including affirmation of non-boycott of Israel and energy companies, adherence to Foreign Adversary Restrictions under NDAA Sections 889 and 1260H, mandatory use of E-Verify for all employees and subcontractors, and strict data security requirements aligned with Texas Business and Commerce Code §521.002. Contractors must also comply with nondiscrimination statutes, avoid conflicts of interest as defined by Texas Government Code §2261.252, and submit a Certificate of Interested Parties if the contract value exceeds $1 million. While the bid includes unit pricing for items like mobilization, lane closure, and concrete, no total contract value is disclosed, and pricing data is inconsistently formatted, making financial estimation unreliable. The contract permits a single one-year extension and includes a liquidated damages clause of $760 per day for delays. No federal acquisition regulation clauses are incorporated; instead, all terms are administered through TxDOT-specific protocols, with oversight conducted by the Engineer, who holds final authority on inspection, acceptance, and contract modifications. The submission process requires adherence to official paper forms, a bid bond, and certification of all declarations, with no electronic submission options explicitly authorized.
