Brown County — CSJ 0923-00-086 — December 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The Texas Department of Transportation solicitation 0923-00-086 is a state-let construction project located on various highways in Brown County, Texas, with a response deadline of December 1, 2026. The scope of work focuses on preventive maintenance and safety improvements across 246 miles of roadway, specifically involving the installation of thermoplastic striping and milled-in rumble strips. The project follows a strict sequence of execution, beginning with the setup of traffic control plans and the removal of existing markers, followed by the application of RC-25O and TY-B Grade 5 treatments within one week of exposing the base, and concluding with final striping and the placement of new raised pavement markers. Contractors must adhere to rigorous safety and regulatory standards, including the Texas Manual on Urban Traffic Control Devices and various federal and state safety codes. A significant portion of the project involves railroad coordination, requiring a mandatory coordination meeting, annual safety orientation for all personnel, and strict adherence to minimum temporary clearances. The contractor is responsible for paying railroad flagging invoices for subsequent reimbursement by TxDOT and must provide a 30-day notice for flagger utilization. Additionally, the contract mandates monthly Critical Path Method scheduling, prohibits the use of warm season asphalts between September 1st and April 30th, and forbids roadway closures during key dates or special events.
