Landscape Development, Various

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is requesting bids for a State Let Construction Contract consisting of landscape development and wildflower seeding at various locations in Cass County, Texas, with bids due August 5, 2026. Federal aid funds are involved, and a notarized Buy America Certification Form is required for all items classified as construction materials.

The scope covers wildflower seeding across approximately 309.7 acres, mobilization, barricades and traffic handling, and truck-mounted attenuator (TMA) operations. Work must be completed within 34 working days, with the start date set for October 1, 2026 to align with optimal planting season. The project is classified as maintenance activity and is exempt from Construction General Permit (CGP) coverage and Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Permit requirements.

Bidders must submit unit prices for each pay item, with total bid amount calculated by multiplying unit prices by estimated quantities. A bid guaranty of $3,000 is required, payable to the Texas Transportation Commission, in the form of a cashier's check, teller's check, bank money order, or bid bond. Contractors must submit audited financial statements and experience questionnaires at least ten days prior to the letting date.

The contract incorporates federal-aid construction requirements including Davis-Bacon wage rates, equal employment opportunity provisions, nondiscrimination certifications, E-Verify compliance, and restrictions on foreign adversary telecommunications equipment and boycotts regarding Israel and energy companies. No disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goal has been established for this project. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of any addenda; failure to do so will result in the bid not being read.
