Travis County — CSJ 6487-39-001 — July 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract for Travis County under solicitation number 6487-39-001, scheduled for a July 2026 letting, is a maintenance-focused procurement managed by the Texas Department of Transportation with performance localized exclusively within Travis County, Texas. It encompasses a range of highway maintenance activities centered on traffic control, sweeping, and cleaning operations, including center median, outside main lane, entrance/exit ramp, and aggregate removal sweeping, as well as the deployment of mobile attenuators and roadway illumination assemblies. Work is delivered via monthly work orders with strict two-week performance windows ending before the 24th of each month and must be completed within 14 working days of issuance. Non-compliance triggers liquidated damages and potential Project Recovery Plans under TxDOT’s standards, with inspection and final acceptance conducted on-site by TxDOT engineers. Compliance with Texas administrative codes and TxDOT specifications such as 43 TAC §9.15, §9.23–§9.27 and TMUTD is mandatory, and performance is tied to quality, safety, and timeliness metrics. The contract includes unique state-specific special provisions including mandatory certifications for nondiscrimination, conflict of interest, E-Verify participation, and foreign adversary equipment restrictions, aligned with federal-style compliance mechanisms adapted under Texas state authority. No federal FAR clause numbering is used; instead, internal TxDOT special provisions govern obligations. The contract’s estimated value is approximately $4,234, derived from line items such as cleaning services, traffic control equipment, and concrete materials, though a negative unit price for a flex base item suggests possible data anomalies or credits. Payment processes are governed by engineering verification rather than specific remittance instructions or accounting codes like TAS or AAC. No formal contract type such as FFP or IDIQ is declared, but award is predicated on a trade-off approach where price is weighed against compliance with technical and procedural requirements, with unbalanced bids or failures to meet non-price criteria leading to rejection of even the lowest offer. The bid process requires signed original proposals, adherence to strict formatting templates, submission of a bid guaranty, and completion of the Bidders Questionnaire ten days prior to letting. Security requirements oblige contractors to safeguard TxDOT data under Texas law, extend obligations to subcontractors, and report breaches. Additional requirements include spill control near waterways, evacuation cooperation during hurricanes, hand sweeping in confined areas, and one-time contract extensions tied to the Federal Consumer Price Index.
