State let maintenance contract, starr CO, sweeping and debris removal

The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking a maintenance contract for sweeping and debris removal services in Starr County along US Highway 0083, specifically covering a 0.01-mile stretch between the Starr/Zapata County limits and the Brooks/Jim Hogg County limits. This procurement is a state-let maintenance contract identified by project number RMC - A00218360, with a comprehensive scope focused on highway cleanliness and maintenance. Bids must be submitted by December 2, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST, with potential bidders required to be prequalified contractors. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 730 calendar days, indicating a long-term maintenance commitment. Interested contractors should obtain bidding proposals through the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) and Electronic Bidding System, with official project proposal documents taking precedence over other information sources. Primary contacts for inquiries include Francisco Cantu at the Texas Department of Transportation's 21st District Headquarters in Pharr, Texas, who can be reached at (956) 705-6155, or the Austin headquarters at (512) 416-2498.

The contract has a total estimated project cost of $942,608.00, with a bid guaranty of $19,000.00, and notably features a 0.0% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal, which suggests no specific set-aside requirements for disadvantaged businesses. This absence of an SBE goal indicates that the contract is open to all qualified contractors meeting the prequalification standards. While the documentation does not specify incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in highway maintenance, specifically sweeping and debris removal services. The relatively large project budget and extended contract duration suggest this is a significant maintenance opportunity for contractors with experience in state highway maintenance and cleaning services. Interested firms should carefully review all documentation from the Electronic State Business Daily and the official project proposal to ensure full compliance with procurement requirements and specifications.
