About this file
This file is a virtual pre-bid conference presentation for Federal Highway Administration solicitation 6982AF27B000006, titled "TX FW LGA 10(5) Steve Thompson Wildlife Drive," scheduled for October 8, 2026. The Central Federal Lands Highway Division (FHWA-CFLHD) is the lead agency for design, acquisitions, and construction, with Contracting Officer Jorey Deml overseeing the project. The solicitation is designated as a Small Business Set-Aside with bids valid for 60 days after bid opening. Bid bonds (originals only) are required, and the Buy American Act applies. The project is located at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge in Cameron County, Texas, approximately 25 miles east of Harlingen, Texas, and includes work on Steve Thompson Wildlife Drive and Bayside Drive.
The scope of work involves rehabilitating existing roadways through full-depth reclamation of chip seal and gravel materials, adding new aggregate surface course, installing an aluminum gate, constructing a concrete pad, installing permanent safety signage, and adding speed bumps. Three alternate bid items for aggregate surface course tonnage will be evaluated, with only one awarded: Alternate 1 provides 2-inches of aggregate surfacing terminating at Renee's Overlook Parking Area; Alternate 2 provides 2-inches without the parking area terminus; and Alternate 3 provides 3-inches terminating at the parking area. Environmental restrictions include limiting construction to daylight hours (30 minutes after sunrise to 30 minutes before sunset), enforcing a 20 mph vehicle speed limit, conducting mandatory one-hour wildlife protection training, prohibiting night work, and obtaining temporary traffic control permits from TxDOT. Davis-Bacon Act wage rates apply to this project.
