IFB 2026-B01 Jacob's Well Road Curve

Hays County Purchasing Office and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are seeking bids for Invitation for Bid (IFB) 2026-B01 Jacob's Well Road Curve, a road improvement project near Blanco, Texas. The project involves comprehensive roadway reconstruction, including horizontal curve realignment, grading, drainage improvements, and safety enhancements. Contractors are required to review the complete project manual, which establishes technical requirements, material standards, and construction methodologies for project execution. The bid is due on January 20, 2026, with a pre-bid conference rescheduled to January 7, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage requirements, bonding provisions, and safety standards outlined in the specifications. The project manual, which is approximately 53MB in size, provides detailed specifications, plans, and comprehensive bidding requirements to ensure contractors can prepare competitive proposals.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the project appears to be funded through state and federal transportation funds, which often have provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available documents. The project manual does not specify a precise budget range, but as a state-funded infrastructure improvement project, it likely represents a significant capital investment. Contractors interested in bidding must carefully review all documentation, including the project manual and Addendum 1, and ensure they can meet the technical and procedural requirements for roadway reconstruction and safety improvement. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate expertise in road construction, understanding of drainage and grading techniques, and compliance with TxDOT and Hays County procurement standards.
