The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a state-let construction contract to improve an interchange along IH 35 in Webb County, Texas, with an estimated project cost of $226,855,600.99. The work will cover a 3.695-mile segment of highway between 0.47 miles south and 3.22 miles north of the Uniroyal Interchange and must be completed within 894 working days. The solicitation, numbered 0018-05-089_0826, was posted on July 10, 2026, with bids due by 1:00 PM on August 6, 2026, and must be submitted exclusively through the Electronic State Business Daily and the TxDOT Electronic Bidding System. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement typical for public infrastructure projects, and a performance guaranty of $100,000 is required from bidders. While the project has a DBE goal of 0.0 percent, no socioeconomic set-asides or affirmative certification requirements are specified. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the project site under TxDOT oversight, though detailed quality standards or inspection procedures are not outlined in the available materials. Payment processing will be handled by the TxDOT headquarters in Austin, with accounting reference numbers 601 and F 2026(017) used for financial tracking. All technical specifications, packaging, evaluation factors, and special requirements are expected to be found in the full project documentation accessible via the official TxDOT bidding portals, as the solicitation notice itself does not include these detailed clauses or annexes.
