Scurry County — CSJ 6506-63-001 — September 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

This contract issued by the Texas Department of Transportation under solicitation number 6506-63-001 is for the supply of CAT 6 Sodium Chloride, a corrosion-inhibited solid sodium chloride mixture containing 20% magnesium chloride, to be used for pre-treating and treating highways during winter weather events in Scurry County and surrounding regions. The materials must be delivered in 2,000 or 2,200 lb super-sacks on pallets and must comply with the Clear Roads Qualified Products List under Category 6, as specified in the Texas Department of Transportation’s Standard Specifications adopted on September 1, 2024. Deliveries are to be made to seven designated maintenance offices and district locations across Taylor, Callahan, Howard, Mitchell, Scurry, Nolan, and Abilene counties, with each site allocated an estimated quantity of 25 tons. Material requests will be issued via work order, specifying item, quantity, and delivery location, and acceptance occurs at the time of delivery through inspection and testing conducted by the Engineer, with potential payment penalties or rejection for non-compliant materials. The contract has a performance period of 243 calendar days and requires compliance with numerous state-specific regulatory mandates, including mandatory use of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system, prohibition of boycotts against Israel and energy companies, and a prohibition against discrimination against firearm entities, all certified by the contractor at time of bid and throughout contract performance. The procurement is structured as a local-let maintenance solicitation with specific pass/fail responsiveness requirements that disqualify bids for failures such as non-submission of the official proposal form, lack of bid guaranty, unauthorized signature, failure to acknowledge addenda, unbalanced pricing, incomplete technical qualifications, or non-compliance with E-Verify or boycott prohibitions. A $1,000 proposal guaranty is required, payable to the Texas Transportation Commission in the form of a cashier’s check, bank money order, or acceptable bid bond. Contractors must submit a completed Materials Supplier’s Questionnaire at least ten days before the letting date, and while the audited financial prequalification is waived, additional certifications must be provided, including Form 1295 for interested parties if contract value meets thresholds. The contract incorporates state statutes mandating compliance with nondiscrimination standards under 49 CFR 21 and adherence to public records preservation requirements for contracts exceeding $1 million in public spending.
