381859-04-24-02 Office Expansion, Amarillo FOD

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is soliciting bids for a comprehensive office expansion project located at 5715 Canyon Drive in Amarillo, Texas, with the specific procurement identified as project #381859-04-24-02. The procurement encompasses construction and renovation services for expanding an existing TxDOT field office, with a total estimated project cost of $329,155.44. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit are scheduled for July 30, 2025, beginning at 10:00 AM with a site visit at 10:30 AM CT, during which potential bidders can assess the project requirements. Proposals must be submitted electronically through txdot.BonfireHub.com by September 3, 2025, at 1:00 PM CT, with accompanying bid bonds or guaranty checks of $7,000.00 to be physically submitted to TxDOT State Headquarters in Austin. Bidders are required to complete and submit a comprehensive package including standard conditions, specifications, project plans, and mandatory third-party ethics training materials, with the Texas Transportation Commission expected to review and potentially award the contract on the last Thursday of the month.

The procurement includes specific requirements for HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) subcontracting, as the project estimate exceeds $100,000, and pre-qualification of contractors has been waived for this opportunity. TxDOT emphasizes compliance with state anti-discrimination laws and explicitly prohibits bidding by contractors currently debarred from TxDOT projects. Bidders must register on the Bonfire platform and complete all necessary documentation, with the agency reserving the right to reject any or all proposals submitted. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly detailed beyond the HUB subcontracting plan, the procurement appears to encourage broad participation from qualified contractors. The project's budget range is precisely defined at $329,155.44, with additional financial requirements including a $7,000.00 bid bond, suggesting a mid-sized infrastructure improvement initiative focused on expanding TxDOT's operational capabilities in the Amarillo region.
