Orange County — CSJ 6502-83-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract for Orange County — CSJ 6502-83-001 — is a local-let maintenance solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Transportation with a let date of May 2026, requiring the delivery of riprap stone in five size classifications — 8-inch, 12-inch, 18-inch, 24-inch, and 36-inch — to maintenance sites in Orange, Jasper, and Newton Counties, Texas, with the primary place of performance identified as Orange, Texas. The scope is strictly delivery-based, with no installation or construction work included, and all materials must meet stringent technical specifications under Special Specification 8004, including minimum bulk specific gravity of 2.50, soundness thresholds of no more than 18% weight loss after five magnesium sulfate cycles, and compliance with gradation standards for each stone size as defined in Table 1. Deliveries must be coordinated with TxDOT prior to execution, adhere to approved haul routes and times, and be verified via signed delivery tickets at the endpoint locations where acceptance occurs. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with no formal CLINs or SLINs, and while estimated quantities total approximately 1,950 tons across all items, unit prices are provided only in written form, precluding calculation of total value. The performance period is one year, extendable by an additional year at TxDOT’s discretion, with work orders issued either seven days in advance or within 48 hours for emergencies. Compliance with state-specific contractual requirements is central to this solicitation, as no standard federal FAR clauses apply; instead, the contract enforces TxDOT special provisions including mandatory certifications on non-boycott of Israel and energy companies, a Conflict of Interest Certification prohibiting financial ties with top TxDOT officials, E-Verify enrollment for all personnel working in Texas, and nondiscrimination obligations aligned with Title VI and 49 CFR 21 that must be flowed down to subcontractors. A Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) is required if the contract value reaches or exceeds $1 million, and contractors must retain all contracting records for disclosure under Texas Government Code Chapter 552. Packaging and marking are minimal, consisting only of standardized item labeling such as RIPRAP(STONE PROT)(SIZE IN)(DEL)(ST #) with no containerization, preservation, or barcoding requirements. Payment and invoicing procedures remain unspecified, though
