Tom Green County — CSJ 6501-03-001 — May 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The contract under solicitation number 6501-03-001, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation for Tom Green County, is a maintenance-focused procurement with a letting date in May 2026 and a submission deadline of May 29, 2026. It falls under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction and is classified as a SLED agency action with performance required within Texas. The scope of work encompasses a variety of roadway maintenance activities including guardrail replacement, installation of temporary traffic control devices, mobilization, and placement of portable message signs and stationary TMA units. Contractual compliance is governed by TxDOT-specific special provisions that override standard specifications, with key items such as Item 500 through Item 771 detailing labor and material requirements, many of which are marked as “ALT” indicating alternate pricing options. Pricing for all line items is specified in placeholder text as “DOLLARS and CENTS,” preventing determination of total contract value, and no fixed-price contract type or option limits are formally stated. The contract imposes strict performance, safety, and quality requirements evaluated along three non-weighted factors: quality, safety, and timeliness, with failure potentially triggering corrective action plans or suspension from future bidding. Contractors must submit detailed certifications including E-Verify compliance, affirmation of non-boycott of Israel and certain businesses, conflict of interest disclosures, and adherence to data security provisions under Texas Business and Commerce Code §521.002. Security incident protocols, on-site representative availability, and 24-hour response obligations are mandated, alongside mandatory pre-work meetings and operational readiness to handle multiple concurrent tasks. The contract allows for a one-time extension of up to one year if performance is satisfactory and mutually agreed upon. Special provisions require Form 1295 submission if the contract exceeds $1 million, obligation to preserve public records under Texas Government Code §552, and application of liquidated damages between $760 and $5,093 per day based on contract value. Technical requirements reference TxDOT Material Specifications such as DMS-4200, DMS-8240, and DMS-8300, while guard fence and steel rail components are tied to standardized drawings labeled #37–42. No federal accounting codes, electronic invoicing systems, or packaging standards are specified, and neither UEI nor CAGE codes are required.
