Rivers Crossing Subdivision Asphalt Replacement Project

Bastrop County, Texas has issued a Request for Bids (RFB 26BCP03B) for the Rivers Crossing Subdivision Asphalt Replacement Project, a road reconstruction initiative involving the removal and replacement of deteriorated asphalt at the entrance to Rivers Crossing Subdivision beginning at Old 71 and extending approximately 700 linear feet down Colorado Drive. The scope of work requires contractors to remove the top six inches of unstable asphalt material and replace it with compacted black base, then cap the roadway with 1.5 inches of TY-D asphalt riding surface. Estimated project quantities include 2,178 square yards of flexible pavement structure repair and 180 tons of D-GR HMA TY-D PG70-22 asphalt, with traffic control services required for a maximum of six days. Bidders must be prepared to coordinate sprinkler system work with the homeowners association, dispose of spoil material at a Bastrop County-designated location within one mile of the site, and coordinate spoil drop-off with the County Road and Bridge Precinct Commissioner. A pre-bidding meeting was held on March 27, 2026 at the project location, the deadline for written questions was April 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM, and sealed bids must be submitted by April 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM to 1041 Lovers Lane, Bastrop, Texas 78602. The selected contractor must mobilize and commence work within thirty days of receiving a Notice-to-Proceed, with an anticipated contract award in April 2026 and a thirty-day contract term subject to potential extension. Pricing shall be submitted as unit cost per ton of material, inclusive of mobilization, demobilization, personnel, equipment, materials, insurance, and bonds, with the contract awarded to the lowest, best value, most responsive bidder meeting all requirements.

Bidders must acknowledge and return a signed copy of Addendum 1 with their sealed bid submission, with failure to do so resulting in automatic disqualification. Payment and performance bonds are required if the total bid price meets or exceeds the State of Texas threshold for public works projects, with a payment bond of 100 percent of the estimated project total required if the contract meets or exceeds $25,000 and a performance bond of 100 percent required if the contract meets or exceeds $100,000; all bond costs must be included in the bid price. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 combined single limit, comprehensive automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000, and workers' compensation insurance as required by Texas law. The County is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes, and payment terms are Net 30 days upon receipt of invoice with a five percent retainage held from each invoice until project completion. Recycled asphalt pavement may be used up to TxDOT standards, and two large concrete sections exist beneath the existing roadway but do not require removal; any unforeseen concrete-related issues discovered during construction will be addressed through negotiated change orders. The specific contract value or budget range is not stated in the procurement documents provided.
