Bastrop County — CSJ 6487-33-001 — July 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

This contract, issued by the Texas Department of Transportation under solicitation number 6487-33-001, is a local-let maintenance solicitation for work in Bastrop County, Texas, with a letting date of July 2026. The scope of work centers on infrastructure maintenance activities including debris removal, tree and brush trimming, and tree removal across designated roadways such as SH 21, FM 2336, US 290, FM 2104, HWY 71, and SH 95. The estimated contract value is approximately $797,522, derived from unit prices and approximate quantities for line items like spot debris removal, tree removal by diameter class, and flexible base material, though some unit prices appear potentially erroneous and are flagged for verification. Performance is to occur entirely on-site within Bastrop County, with no specified FOB terms or formal delivery schedule, but completion is tied to project timelines and subject to liquidated damages of $760 per day for delays on contracts under $1 million. Contractors are required to comply with a comprehensive set of state regulations, including TxDOT Standard Specifications, 43 TAC §9.23–§9.27 for performance evaluation and corrective action plans, and OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard for hazardous material handling. All work must adhere to environmental protections governed by TCEQ permits, stormwater pollution prevention plans, and sensitive habitat guidelines. Special requirements include mandatory use of E-Verify for all employees and subcontractors, compliance with nondiscrimination laws under Title VI and 49 CFR 21, and submission of a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise commitment. Contractors must also certify they have no conflicts of interest, will not boycott Israel or energy companies, and will not use foreign adversary technologies as defined by state law. Data security obligations require immediate reporting of breaches and safeguarding of TxDOT information throughout all tiers of subcontracting. Proposals must be submitted in a prescribed format using the official TxDOT form, accompanied by a completed bidder questionnaire at least ten days prior to the letting date, and all submissions must follow specific signature, pricing, and documentation rules. Contract administration is overseen by the TxDOT Engineer, with final acceptance occurring on-site after verification of compliance; however, no contracting officer, COR, COTR, or payment office details are provided in the solicitation.
