Potter County — CSJ 6499-55-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6499-55-001 covers highway cleaning and sweeping operations in Potter County, Texas, primarily along IH 40 and potentially extending into Randall County, with performance divided into recurring MILE tracts and post-storm CYCLE tracts. Contractors are required to complete each sweeping cycle within ten days using approved equipment, including Truck Mounted Attenuators, while strictly adhering to the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the September 1, 2024, TxDOT Standard Specifications, with Special Provisions taking precedence. The scope includes debris removal from center medians, outside main lanes, frontage roads, entrance/exit ramps, and spot locations, with all removed debris becoming the contractor’s property and disposal costs borne entirely by the contractor. Performance is evaluated based on quality, safety, and timeliness, with deficiencies triggering corrective action plans or Project Recovery Plans and potential referral to a Performance Review Committee. Liquidated damages apply per ten-day cycle for delays, and contract extensions of up to one year may be granted by mutual agreement. Contractors must comply with a range of state-specific certifications and requirements, including Form 1295 submission for contracts valued at $1 million or more, certification of non-boycott compliance with Israel, energy companies, and firearm entities for contracts exceeding $100,000, and a child support payment status certification. Conflict of interest prohibitions are enforced per Texas law, banning financial interests by TxDOT employees and prohibiting surveillance or misuse of confidential information. Security obligations extend to subcontractors handling TxDOT data, defined under Texas Business and Commerce Code, with breach penalties mandated. Contractors must designate an onsite representative with decision-making authority and demonstrate adequate resources to perform this contract alongside other concurrent TxDOT works. Bids must be submitted using the official form, with sealed bid bonds and properly signed certifications, and are evaluated without disclosed pricing, as unit rates are listed only as “DOLLARS and CENTS” without numeric values, making the total contract value indeterminable from available data. The solicitation is managed by the Texas Department of Transportation, with project oversight by Clint Harms, P.E., and Steve Johnson, and all plans and information are accessible via designated TxDOT web portals.
