The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is soliciting bids for installing about 3,700 linear feet of new perimeter fencing and posts and two new 20-foot cantilever sliding gates at the Lubbock Southeast Maintenance Facility in Lubbock County, with bids due November 4, 2026. The solicitation was posted October 28, 2026, leaving seven days to respond. The work is structured as a lump-sum total cost contract.

Installation must follow TxDOT security fence and gate standards, with final gate locations to be determined. The contractor is responsible for permits and licenses and must engage a registered surveyor for construction layout. Testing and inspection work runs through independent testing agencies and manufacturers' representatives acceptable to the owner, with inspections conducted by TxDOT staff. Materials must meet manufacturers' specifications, and rejected or non-conforming work is removed and replaced at the contractor's expense.

Submittal and schedule obligations are front-loaded. A preliminary construction schedule is due within 14 days of the Notice to Proceed, followed by detailed schedules within seven days, using computerized CPM analysis. The contractor also submits a schedule of values, a subcontractor list, shop drawings, product data, and samples. The owner holds a preconstruction meeting to review responsibilities and personnel assignments. Closeout requires warranties, maintenance manuals, material safety data sheets, and two complete sets of equipment data before final payment.
