Insurance
This solicitation didn't spell out insurance limits. As a rule of thumb, government construction contracts typically expect:
- General Liability — commonly $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate
- Workers' Compensation — statutory limits, once you have employees
- Automobile Liability — commonly $1M combined single limit
- Builder's Risk — sometimes required, sized to the contract value
Texas is the only state where private employers can legally opt out of workers' comp — but government contracts almost always require it anyway. These are general norms, not figures from this solicitation — always confirm the exact limits in the contract before you bid.
Licenses & registrations
- Texas contractor registration or applicable state/local licensing for highway maintenance work
- TxDOT prequalification (verify if required for local-let contracts)

Use the toolNo set-aside is indicated in this solicitation — it appears to be a full and open local-let TxDOT contract. This item is not a gate for this bid.
Use the toolThis is a Texas ESBD (state) solicitation, not a federal SAM.gov procurement. SAM.gov registration is likely not required, but verify if any federal funding is involved in this TxDOT contract.
Bond requirements are not explicitly stated in the available solicitation text. The official advertisement attachment (6499-35-001_0726.txt) must be reviewed for bid, performance, and payment bond requirements — standard for TxDOT maintenance contracts.
Insurance limits are not stated in the solicitation description. Review the official advertisement attachment for TxDOT's required coverage types and minimum limits.
Relevant experience should include metal beam guard fence repair or similar highway roadside maintenance work. The estimated value is $186,000, so references of comparable scale on TxDOT or other DOT projects are ideal.
Use the toolThis is a state-let TxDOT contract; federal Davis-Bacon may not apply unless federal funds are used. Verify whether Texas prevailing wage requirements or TxDOT-specific wage rates are specified in the official advertisement attachment.
Use the toolNo site visit is mentioned in the solicitation. Work is located on US 59 in Angelina County, TX — a field review prior to bidding is advisable to scope guard fence repair quantities accurately.
