Use the toolNo set-aside is indicated in this solicitation — it appears to be open/unrestricted. No eligibility certification is required, but verify in the official TxDOT letting documents.
Use the toolThis is a Texas ESBD (state) solicitation, not a federal SAM.gov procurement. However, confirm any TxDOT vendor registration requirements are current before the 7/14/2026 bid date.
Bond requirements are not explicitly stated in the available solicitation text. TxDOT local-let contracts at this value (~$525K) typically require bid, performance, and payment bonds — confirm exact requirements in the official letting documents at the TxDOT attachment URL.
Specific insurance limits are not stated in the available solicitation text. Retrieve the full TxDOT letting package to confirm required coverage types and limits before bidding.
TxDOT prequalification for highway maintenance and guardrail work is typically required. Have references and project history for comparable MBGF repair or highway barrier work ready at the ~$525K scale.
Use the toolThis is a state-let TxDOT contract. Texas does not have a state prevailing wage law, but federally funded TxDOT projects may trigger Davis-Bacon requirements. Confirm whether federal funds are involved by reviewing the full letting package.
Use the toolNo site visit is mentioned in the available solicitation text. Review the official TxDOT letting documents to confirm whether a pre-bid site review is scheduled or recommended along US 290 in Waller County.
