Parker County — CSJ 1469-01-025 — December 2026 Letting — State-Let Construction

The Texas Department of Transportation has issued solicitation 1469-01-025 for a pavement preservation project located on Highway FM 5 in Parker County, extending from IH 20 to Muir Road. The scope of work covers a total project length of .21/206 miles and primarily involves the construction of a one-inch thin overlay using TOM-C PG76-22 asphalt with a Surface Aggregate Classification value of A, along with the application of tack coat and new pavement markings. The project is scheduled for a December 2026 letting, with contract working days beginning on April 1, 2027, and a total duration not to exceed 92 days. Key operational requirements include the submission of a progress schedule in bar chart format and the designation of a project superintendent. Because the work occurs within a railroad right-of-way near Union Pacific DOT No. 839221Y, the contractor must provide an original railroad liability insurance policy and manage flagging invoices for later reimbursement by TxDOT. Strict safety and traffic protocols are in place, including a prohibition on personal vehicles within the right-of-way and specific lane closure restrictions during holidays and special events. Quality acceptance will be based on mil thickness for pavement markings and retro-reflectivity standards, while the contractor remains responsible for implementing all stormwater pollution prevention and erosion control measures.
