Tarrant County — CSJ 6500-18-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

Tarrant County under solicitation number 6500-18-001 is seeking contractors for local-let maintenance work involving the furnishing and placement of Dense-Graded Hot Mix Asphalt (D-GR HMA) and patching materials across North Tarrant County, Texas, with a contract term of 365 calendar days, extendable once to 730 days. The work includes material delivery or pickup at designated sites, with performance governed by strict TxDOT specifications such as Tex-204-F for job mix formulas, Tex-241-F for compaction, and Tex-236-F for ignition oven testing. Acceptance of materials hinges on adherence to performance criteria including zero percent stripping in the Boil Test, compliance with Hamburg Wheel-Tracking standards, proper void content, and strict temperature controls during placement. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by the Engineer at both origin and destination points, with final authority resting with the government despite contractor-initiated testing. Bid items encompass multiple HMA types and patching materials in both pickup and delivery formats, with quantities specified but unit prices omitted, leaving the total contract value undetermined. The procurement is administered by the Texas Department of Transportation, with contract administration handled by Daniel Poole and Kevin Thompson, and payment logistics tied to internal project identifiers including MMC A00220698 rather than formal federal accounting codes. Special requirements include mandatory compliance with TxDOT-specific nondiscrimination policies under Title VI and 49 CFR Part 21, flow-down obligations to all subcontractors, and certifications regarding E-Verify usage, non-participation in foreign boycotts of Israel, child support compliance, and conflict of interest. Contractors must submit Form 1295 if the contract value reaches or exceeds $1 million, and are required to retain all records per Texas Government Code §552.003 for the contract’s duration. Testing and material compliance are enforced using TxDOT-specific methods such as Tex-410-A for abrasion, Tex-411-A for soundness, and Tex-280-F for particle shape, with material sources subject to engineer approval. Proposals must follow the official TxDOT form and include required documentation, though submission portal details and deadlines are referenced to external advertisements. No formal FAR clauses are applied; instead, provisions are structured under internal TxDOT numbering, and packaging, marking, or delivery terms like FOB are not specified. All submissions are
