The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a State Let Maintenance Contract for the Orange County Travel Information Center located on Interstate Highway 10. The project, identified by Control Number 6479-43-001 and Project Number RMC - A00213863, has a specified completion time of 240 working days. Bidding will be conducted through a sealed proposal process, with bids to be received and opened on March 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST. A non-mandatory prebid conference is scheduled for February 18, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the Orange Travel Information Center. Potential bidders must be prequalified contractors, with bidding proposals issued directly to prequalified contractors and available to additional contractors upon request. Interested parties must submit their proposals to the Texas Department of Transportation office in Austin, with Mark Johnson serving as the primary point of contact for any questions or clarifications regarding the contract opportunity.

The contract appears to be an open procurement with no specific Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal set. The estimated project cost is $1,260,000.00, with a required bid guaranty of $25,000.00. While the documentation does not explicitly detail set-aside provisions or restrictions for specific enterprise types, the bidding process is limited to prequalified contractors. The waived project status suggests some flexibility in contractor selection, though specific qualification criteria are not fully detailed in the provided documentation. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience in maintenance contracts, particularly for transportation infrastructure projects. The substantial project budget indicates a significant scope of work for the maintenance of the Travel Information Center, suggesting the selected contractor will need comprehensive capabilities in facilities maintenance, potentially including structural, mechanical, and operational support services.
