State let construction contract, childress CO, hazard elimination & safety

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is seeking bids for a state-let construction contract focused on hazard elimination and safety improvements in Childress County. The project involves infrastructure work spanning 1.0 miles of various highways, with a comprehensive scope targeting transportation safety enhancements. Bids are due by 1:00 PM on January 8, 2025, and will be opened immediately thereafter at either the TxDOT Childress office (7599 US 287) or the Austin headquarters (6230 E Stassney Lane). The contract requires completion within 63 working days, and bidders must provide a bid guaranty of $47,000. Potential contractors should be prepared to submit comprehensive proposals through the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) and Electronic Bidding System, which serve as the official sources for all bidding information and potential addenda. Technical inquiries can be directed to Matthew Herbstritt at either the Austin or Childress locations, and bidders should carefully review all project specifications associated with Control Number 0925-00-081 and Project Number C 925-00-81.

For this procurement, there are no specific Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal requirements, indicating the contract is open to a broad range of qualified contractors. The estimated project cost is $2,335,072.49, providing potential bidders with a clear understanding of the project's financial scope. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, contractors should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in highway infrastructure, safety improvements, and transportation construction projects. The lack of SBE restrictions suggests that both small and large construction firms can compete for this opportunity. Interested parties should ensure they meet all technical qualifications, have the capacity to complete the project within the 63-working-day timeline, and can provide the required $47,000 bid guaranty. Potential contractors should carefully review all documentation and be prepared to demonstrate their technical capabilities, financial stability, and experience with similar hazard elimination and safety infrastructure projects.
