Trinity County — CSJ 6508-34-001 — October 2026 Letting — Local-Let Maintenance

The Texas Department of Transportation has issued solicitation 6508-34-001 for a Routine Maintenance Contract focused on ditch and culvert cleaning and reshaping within Trinity County, specifically along US 287 and other designated locations. This callout-based project requires the contractor to provide specific crews and equipment upon request, including a five-man crew for hydraulic excavator work and a six-man crew for blade and loader operations. Key equipment requirements include a hydraulic excavator with a minimum 60-inch bucket and rubber components to prevent pavement damage, motor graders for reshaping earthen fore slopes, and 12-yard dump trucks. The project must be completed within 365 calendar days, with strict response times for work orders: 48 hours for emergency requests and five business days for regular orders. The bidding process is price-based, requiring unit price quotes for items such as ditch cleaning, culvert cleaning, mobilization, and stationary TMA. A proposal guaranty of 7,000 dollars is required, and bidders must comply with certifications regarding child support, conflict of interest, and E-Verify registration. Performance will be evaluated by an Engineer based on quality, safety, and timeliness, with the potential for a Project Recovery Plan if standards are not met. Safety is a primary requirement, mandating ANSI Class II reflective clothing during the day and Class III at night, with non-compliance serving as grounds for work suspension. The contract also incorporates specific environmental compliance standards and requires adherence to the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for all pavement and traffic markings.
