Brazos County — CSJ 0117-01-062 — July 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The contract pertains to a state-let construction project in Brazos County, Texas, solicited by the Texas Department of Transportation under solicitation number 0117-01-062, with proposals due on July 1, 2026. The scope centers on transportation infrastructure work including traffic control measures, pavement marking application, rumble strip installation, and related earthwork and concrete structures along designated roadways such as US 190 and FM 391. The estimated contract value is approximately $1.75 million, derived from line-item bids with unit prices ranging from $1.00 per linear foot for pavement markings to over $50 per ton for flexible base materials, though one item displays a negative quantity and value that may reflect a data anomaly. Performance is restricted to Brazos County, with all work subject to strict compliance with Texas Transportation Code, Federal Highway Administration regulations, and state administrative codes governing labor standards, safety protocols, and environmental controls. Contractors are required to self-perform at least 30% of the contract value using their own workforce, excluding specialty items, and must ensure all subcontractors adhere to federal and state labor laws, including prevailing wage requirements under 29 CFR 5.5, anti-kickback provisions, and equal employment opportunity obligations. Mandatory certifications regarding debarment, lobbying, and wage compliance must be completed and maintained, with detailed records such as certified payrolls (WH-347) retained for three years post-completion. The contract enforces affirmative recruitment efforts for minorities and women through an on-the-job training program with tiered wage progression and partial reimbursement. All ocean-transported materials must comply with the Cargo Preference Act using U.S.-flag vessels, and adherence to TxDOT standard specifications and project-specific special provisions—including liquidated damages for delays—is non-negotiable. While no formal evaluation factors, contract administration details, or packaging requirements are specified, successful bidders must submit proposals in the exact format outlined by TxDOT, including a guaranty and unit prices written in words, with failure to comply resulting in bid rejection.
