Tree Removal, SH0049

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a Local Let Construction Contract (Atlanta District) consisting of tree trimming, tree and stump removal, and brush removal at various non-site-specific locations in Harrison, Marion, and Upshur Counties, Texas, with bids due July 15, 2026. This is callout work, not a production contract — work will be issued via work orders specifying locations and quantities throughout a 365-calendar-day performance period.

Contractors must be prequalified or submit a completed Bidders Questionnaire at least ten days prior to the letting date. Davis-Bacon wage requirements and federal-aid provisions apply. E-Verify certification and various conflict-of-interest, lobbying, Israel boycott, energy company boycott, firearm discrimination, and foreign adversary certifications are required.

Bid items include mobilization (4 callouts); traffic management assistance (50 days); tree trimming and brush removal (50.385 centerline miles); stump removal (25 units); tree removal across thirteen diameter categories from 4-inch to 72-inch (1,535 individual trees total); and general debris removal (500 cubic yards). Unit prices must be submitted for each line item. Initial work must begin within seven calendar days of notification; subsequent work orders require start within three working days. A pre-construction conference will be held prior to operations commencement. Liquidated damages apply for failure to complete work orders within specified timeframes, calculated per the Schedule of Liquidated Damages based on total contract value.

A proposal guaranty of $9,000 is required in the form of a cashier's check, teller's check, or bid bond. The example total bid amount shown is $2,664.00. Work is subject to suspension by the Department without charge if a competent English-speaking superintendent is unavailable.
