Navarro County — CSJ 6497-29-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6497-29-001 is a routine maintenance task for the Texas Department of Transportation, specifically scoped to Navarro County along IH-45, with a letting scheduled for May 2026. The work involves the installation, repair, and maintenance of traffic control devices and pavement markings, including crash cushion attenuators, channelizing devices, and reflective marker tabs, all in compliance with TxDOT’s September 1, 2024 Standard Specifications and relevant Operational Material Specifications such as OMS-8240, OMS-8241, OMS-8242, and DMS-6130. All materials must be sourced from TxDOT’s Prequalified Product List, and markings must maintain minimum visibility standards of 300 feet during daylight and 160 feet at night; non-compliant markings must be replaced within 30 days at the contractor’s expense. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site by the TxDOT Engineer, who has exclusive authority to approve or reject work based on specified performance criteria, with sampling and testing permitted prior to installation. The contract requires strict adherence to state-specific provisions rather than federal FAR clauses, including mandatory certifications on E-Verify compliance, non-boycott of Israel, conflict of interest, and child support obligations. Contractors must submit a Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) if the contract value reaches or exceeds $1 million, and must update this certification if subsequent change orders or extensions increase the value by $1 million or more. Security requirements are stringent, mandating compliance with TxDOT’s cybersecurity policies, prohibition of equipment from Foreign Adversaries, immediate reporting of data breaches, and restriction on credential sharing. All subcontractors must meet the same E-Verify, nondiscrimination, and data protection obligations as the prime contractor. Bids must be submitted physically using TxDOT’s official form, accompanied by a bid bond, with no electronic submissions accepted. Unit prices are listed for line items such as mobilization, replacement of object markers, and traffic control measures, but no overall contract value is declared due to unquantified options and approximate quantities. The contract allows for a single one-year extension if performance is satisfactory, though no definitive period of performance is stated. Award methodology is not explicitly defined, though pricing reasonableness and technical acceptability are key considerations, with bids subject to rejection if mathematically unbalanced or improperly completed.
