Widen Road - Add Lanes and Shoulders

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a State Let construction contract to add two right turn lanes, extend culverts, and install stripping, signs, and rumble strips on SH 114 at Alliance Boulevard, with bids due November 4, 2026. The project is federal-aid and requires a notarized Buy America Certification Form for every item classified as a construction material. The file sets a 0 percent disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goal, so no DBE participation is required.

The work covers a 0.25-mile corridor in Wise County, Texas, although the opportunity's jurisdiction field lists Sterling County (FIPS 48431). Scope includes site preparation, embankment, seeding, lime treatment, prime coat, hot-mix asphalt placement, concrete pavement, pipe installation, mobilization, traffic control, and erosion control. The contract requires completion within 46 working days. Lane closures are restricted during peak hours and holidays, and environmental controls include migratory bird protection. Contractors must comply with federal Davis-Bacon wage rates, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

Bidders must provide unit prices for each bid item under Item 2 of the standard specifications and acknowledge receipt of all addenda, since failure to do so results in bid rejection. A $12,000 proposal guaranty is required, payable by cashier's check, teller's check, bank money order, or bid bond. An audited financial statement and experience questionnaire must be submitted at least ten days before the letting date. Required certifications include E-Verify registration, conflict of interest, child support statement compliance, and certifications against boycotting Israel or energy companies and against discriminating against firearm entities.

The project is identified as Control 0353-01-031, Project F 2027(022), and the opportunity was posted October 28, 2026.
