Contracted Bridge Labor

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is soliciting proposals for contracted bridge labor services to support bridge construction, maintenance, and inspection activities across TxDOT projects statewide, with proposals due July 8, 2026.

The scope encompasses skilled and unskilled labor positions including laborers, equipment operators, and inspection personnel deployed on an as-needed basis to various bridge projects throughout Texas. Contractors must maintain a flexible workforce capable of responding to project demands with minimal notice. All workers must meet applicable licensing and certification requirements for their designated roles.

Contractors are required to comply with Davis-Bacon wage requirements or applicable state prevailing wage standards and maintain certified payroll records. Workers' compensation insurance and general liability coverage are mandatory. Contractors must comply with OSHA regulations and TxDOT safety standards and participate in pre-project meetings and safety briefings as directed by TxDOT project managers.

Labor rates and staffing requirements are to be determined based on specific project needs and geographic locations within Texas, with pricing submitted on a per-hour or per-diem basis depending on position classification. The contract structure is flexible, supporting multiple project sites and labor categories across the state.
