Bids are invited for the construction of the Nameless Road Bridge at Big Sandy Creek. Bids can be submitted online via BidNet or via mail to the Travis County Purchasing Office. A bid bond or certified/cashier's check of not less than 5% of the total bid is required. Performance and payment bonds are required for contracts exceeding certain thresholds. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage rates and Texas Workers' Compensation coverage requirements. A safety record questionnaire, ethics declaration, and HUB program declaration must be submitted with the bid. Travis County reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
Final payment for the construction project will be made upon completion and acceptance of the work by the county. If performance and payment bonds are not required, payment will be made upon acceptance of satisfactory work.
The work proposed to be done shall be accepted when fully completed and finished to the entire satisfaction of the Travis County Commissioners Court.
Travis County reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to make an award of a base bid and/or an alternate bid which is in the best interest of Travis County.
Respondents must submit a certified safety record questionnaire, a sworn declaration and acknowledgment regarding Travis County ethics requirements, and a historically underutilized business hub program declaration. Bidders must also comply with Texas Workers' Compensation coverage requirements.
Liquidated damages apply for failure to complete work on time, as detailed in the General Conditions of the Construction Contract, Item 8, Section 8. 6. Failure to execute a contract or file required bonds after award may result in the bid bond or check becoming the property of Travis County as payment for damages.

Contacting anyone at Travis County other than the listed point of contact, or contacting individual members of the Travis County Commissioners Court or their staff about this solicitation, may disqualify the response from consideration for award.
