State let construction contract, potter CO, bridge maintenance

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has issued a state-let construction contract for bridge maintenance work in Potter County, with a project identified under Control Number 0904-00-240 and Project Number C 904-00-240. The procurement solicits comprehensive bridge maintenance services across the district, with a specific completion timeline of 88 working days. Bids will be received and opened on January 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with submission options available at either the TxDOT Amarillo office (5715 Canyon Dr) or Austin headquarters (6230 E Stassney Ln). Potential bidders must submit a bid guaranty of $24,000.00, corresponding to the project's estimated total cost of $1,224,932.00. The Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) and Electronic Bidding System serve as the official platforms for all advertisement and bidding information, including potential addenda. Bidders with technical questions are directed to contact L. Clint Harms at either the Amarillo (806-356-3247) or Austin (512-416-2498) office locations.

The contract does not specify any specific set-aside designations or small business enterprise (SBE) goals, indicating an open competitive bidding process for qualified contractors. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard public works contract for district-wide bridge maintenance services, with no apparent restrictions on the types of organizations permitted to respond. The project budget of $1,224,932.00 suggests a medium-scale infrastructure maintenance initiative that would likely require contractors with demonstrated experience in bridge repair, maintenance, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and prior experience with similar municipal or state-level bridge maintenance projects. The lack of SBE goals suggests that the primary evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical competence, proposed methodologies, cost-effectiveness, and ability to complete the project within the 88-working-day timeframe.
