Wichita County — CSJ 6500-87-001 — June 2026 Letting — State-Let Maintenance

The contract is a state-let maintenance solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for work in Wichita County, Texas, with a letting date set for June 2026. It operates as an indefinite-delivery, on-call contract permitting multiple work orders to be issued at the Engineer’s discretion, each with a minimum value of $7,000, and allows for a single one-year extension upon mutual written agreement. The primary scope involves mobile work zone traffic control using convoy systems with Truck Mounted Attenuators, flashing arrow boards, and two-way radio communication, alongside the installation, maintenance, and removal of pavement markings and raised pavement markers in accordance with Texas DOT Departmental Material Specifications such as DMS-4200, DMS-6100, DMS-8240, and DMS-8300. Materials must be stored in weather-proof enclosures and applied per manufacturer instructions, with all markings conforming to specific dimensional and reflective standards. The contract requires strict compliance with E-Verify for all personnel, cybersecurity protections for TxDOT data, and adherence to Texas Government Code provisions prohibiting conflicts of interest, surveillance of officials, and use of data for improper influence. Contractors must also certify that they have no financial ties to TxDOT officials or affiliations with foreign adversaries under federal NDAA statutes, and submit a Certificate of Interested Parties if the contract value reaches or exceeds $1 million. All bids must adhere to TxDOT Form 234-B, with unit prices written in words, and noncompliance with formatting rules leads to bid rejection. Evaluation is based solely on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with awards subject to rejection if bids exceed the Department’s estimate by more than 20% or are materially unbalanced. Liquidated damages are assessed at $760 per day for contracts under $1 million and $968 per day for those between $1 million and $3 million for delays beyond completion deadlines. No electronic invoicing, barcoding, or federal accounting codes are required, and all documentation must be submitted in hard copy at a public bid opening with audited financial statements and experience questionnaires delivered at least ten days in advance.
