Tarrant County — CSJ 6497-46-001 — June 2026 Letting — State-Let Maintenance

This contract, identified as CSJ 6497-46-001 with a letting date in June 2026, is a state-let maintenance solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for pavement marking and traffic control work across Tarrant County and other state highway locations. The scope encompasses the removal of existing pavement markings and installation of reflective and raised pavement markers in various configurations, including arrows, words, symbols, and special markings such as school zones and railroad crossings, all adhering to TxDOT’s September 1, 2024 Standard Specifications. Performance is governed by strict production rates—such as a minimum of 1,000 linear feet per day for marking removal—and compliance with traffic control plans that mandate equipment like Truck-Mounted Attenuators and MDLD lighting. Work must commence within 72 hours of a work order issuance, or within six hours for emergency tasks, with the possibility of a one-year extension if contract terms are fully satisfied. The estimated contract value ranges between $33.4 million and $35 million, though many line items lack specified unit prices, limiting precise total calculation; notable priced items include road lighting assemblies and concrete for culverts. The contract imposes rigorous technical and compliance standards, referencing specific test methods such as AASHTO T313 for low-temperature binder performance and Tex-554-C for dynamic shear rheometry to ensure material integrity. Inspection may occur at the production or job site, with final acceptance contingent on adherence to performance criteria, and failure to meet requirements may trigger liquidated damages or review by TxDOT’s Performance Review Committee. Contractors must certify compliance with multiple state and federal mandates, including prohibitions on discrimination against firearm businesses, avoidance of foreign adversary suppliers under NDAA Section 889, non-participation in boycotts of Israel, and confirmation of current child support obligations. Security obligations require immediate reporting of data breaches and financial liability for resulting costs. Bid submission must follow TxDOT Form 234-B exactly, with no permitted alterations, and pre-bid questions must be submitted via the designated TxDOT dashboard. Payment and invoicing details are not documented, nor are specific accounting codes or remittance information provided, but contract oversight is managed by designated TxDOT personnel in the Fort Worth District. No formal FAR clauses, packaging specifications, or evaluation factors beyond price compliance and responsiveness are enumerated, indicating a predominantly price-driven award process without technical trade-offs.
