Nueces County — CSJ 6501-31-001 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Maintenance

The contract pertains to state-let highway maintenance services in Nueces County, Texas, under solicitation number 6501-31-001, with a letting date of May 2026 and a performance period of 730 days, including the possibility of one renewal up to the original contract duration. Work is governed by the 2024 Texas Standard Specifications and involves cleaning and sweeping of main lanes twice monthly and frontage roads once monthly, debris removal, permit acquisition, and coordination with adjacent projects within defined roadway corridors such as US 77 from S Sage Road to E Trant Road. The contract requires strict adherence to safety, quality, and timeliness standards, with performance evaluated through formal reviews and potential issuance of Project Recovery Plans or Corrective Action Plans for noncompliance. Contractors must comply with state-specific provisions including Article 4.4 on performance evaluations, Article 2.14 certifying no boycott of Israel, Article 2.15 requiring use of the DHS E-Verify system, and Special Provision 000 on nondiscrimination per federal regulations. Additional mandatory certifications include Form 1295 for contracts valued at $1 million or more, disclosure of public information compliance, and adherence to data security mandates under the Texas Business and Commerce Code and NDAA Sections 889 and 1260H, which prohibit use of equipment or services from foreign adversaries. No federal FAR clauses are applied; instead, TxDOT’s internal Articles and Special Provisions govern contractual obligations. While some line items list quantities—such as 23,314 miles of debris removal and 2,511 miles of median and outside lane sweeping—unit prices for critical services like mobilization, traffic management, and sweeping are not fully provided, preventing determination of the total estimated contract value. The contracting officer’s representative is Eric Martinez, P.E., Area Engineer, who holds authority over work direction and performance oversight. Bids must be submitted using TxDOT’s official forms, with a Bidders Questionnaire filed at least ten days prior to the letting and all required certifications complete. No FOB terms, packaging, or shipping specifications are included, as the scope centers on on-site maintenance operations. Invoicing procedures are referenced without specifying a system, and payment office details are not provided. Final acceptance occurs upon Engineer approval at closeout, based on compliance with technical specifications, inspection criteria, and performance outcomes.
