Dobbin-Huffsmith Rd. Improvement CSJ: 0912-37-264 Precinct #4

Montgomery County, Texas is requesting sealed lump-sum bids for roadway rehabilitation and widening on Dobbin-Huffsmith Road from Spur 149 Road to FM 2978, spanning 8.25 miles, with bids due July 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a pre-bid meeting on July 14, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.

The scope includes excavation, flexible base placement, cement and asphalt treatment, prime coat and tack coat application, dense-graded hot-mix asphalt (D-GR HMA) placement, pavement repairs, mobilization, traffic control, work zone and reflective pavement markings, and raised pavement markers. Work must comply with 2024 Texas Department of Transportation Technical Specifications and Montgomery County General Conditions. The contractor must achieve substantial completion within 118 calendar days after written notice to proceed.

The county encourages utilization of local businesses and suppliers where possible but does not apply a mandatory local-vendor set-aside or preference; the county explicitly reserves discretion not to favor local bids if doing so would make the contractor's bid uncompetitive. Bid evaluation considers lowest price and length of days bid for substantial completion as major factors.

Bid security of not less than 5 percent of the bid amount, in the form of a certified or cashier's check or bidder's bond, must accompany each proposal. Performance and Payment Bonds, each at 100 percent of contract sum, are due within twenty days of award notification. Bidders must submit a Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295, a completed Contractor's Qualification Statement (AIA Form A305), and initialed copies of Montgomery County Purchasing Department requirements. Questions are due July 20, 2026 by 2:00 p.m. Bids remain open for ninety days after opening without owner consent. Sealed bids are submitted to the Montgomery County Purchasing Agent's office, 501 North Thompson, Suite 405, Conroe, Texas 77301.
