Potter County — CSJ 6500-20-001 — May 2026 Letting — State-Let Maintenance

The contract under Solicitation Number 6500-20-001, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for Potter County, is a state-let maintenance solicitation with a letting date in May 2026. The scope of work centers on traffic control and roadside maintenance activities, including the installation, maintenance, and removal of temporary traffic control devices in accordance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and other state specifications. Key deliverables include compliance with the Compliant Work Zone Traffic Control Devices list, proper sign placement, roadside mowing over approximately 7,868 acres, and adherence to safety standards such as MASH and ANSI 107-2004 for high-visibility apparel and retroreflective materials. Performance is limited to Potter County, Texas, with inspections and final acceptance conducted on-site by the Engineer, and contract extensions are permissible up to the original term length with potential unit price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index. The solicitation requires bidders to submit a completed TxDOT Form 234-B I-61-5M with a bid bond payable to the Texas Transportation Commission, and proposals must be submitted physically by the deadline without electronic alternatives. Bids will be evaluated primarily based on responsiveness and lowest price compared to the Department’s estimate, though the formal procurement basis is not explicitly stated. Mandatory certifications include compliance with child support obligations, nondiscrimination requirements under 49 CFR Part 21, the prohibition of boycotts of Israel and domestic energy companies, E-Verify enrollment for all hires, and verification that the bidder is not a foreign adversary under NDAA provisions. Security obligations extend to subcontractors with requirements for data safeguarding and immediate breach reporting. Special provisions outline liquidated damages schedules, conflict of interest disclosures, and records retention for the contract duration, with no formal FAR clauses applied—the contract instead relies on TxDOT-specific special provisions and standard specifications. No comprehensive pricing schedule is provided in the documentation, making the total contract value unknown, and no official contracting officer or technical representative is formally designated.
