The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is soliciting bids for a state-level construction contract involving bridge replacement projects in Freestone and Madison Counties. The specific projects include bridge replacements on FM 1580 and SH OSR, with project numbers BR 2026(029) and BR 2026(032), respectively. The contract requires comprehensive bridge replacement construction services, with a total project completion timeline of 171 working days. Bids will be received and opened on October 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with interested contractors required to submit proposals through the Electronic Bidding System and Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD). Potential bidders should direct any questions to Delmy Reyes at TxDOT's Austin headquarters, contactable at (512) 416-2498. The procurement process emphasizes using official sources for bidding information, with any addenda taking precedence over unofficial sources. The contract includes a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 4.5%, indicating a commitment to supporting minority and small business participation. The total estimated project value is $2,483,796.12, with a $50,000 guaranty requirement for potential contractors. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract appears open to qualified construction firms capable of executing complex bridge replacement work. Bidders will likely need to demonstrate technical expertise in bridge construction, appropriate licensing, and the ability to meet the project's 171-day completion timeline. The DBE goal suggests that prime contractors may need to subcontract or partner with qualifying disadvantaged businesses to meet the contract's participation requirements. Interested firms should carefully review all official documentation, including the project proposal and any subsequent addenda, to ensure full compliance with TxDOT's specifications and requirements.
