Bidders must submit a proposal guaranty of $10,000 as a cashier's check, teller's check, or bid bond, and must acknowledge all issued addenda; failure to do so results in rejection.

Contractors must comply with nondiscrimination requirements, E-Verify employment eligibility verification, conflict of interest certifications, and prohibitions against boycotting Israel and energy companies. Weekly coordination meetings with TxDOT representatives and the park superintendent are required; weekend work requires prior written approval.
