TxDOT must verify and document compliance with cultural resources commitments before releasing the contractor from the project utilizing the “

”.

TxDOT will inspect the project to ensure the cultural resources commitments in the EPICs are followed. The District and ENV will record compliance through narrative and photographic documentation for the project record. Once ENV finalizes documentation, the contractor may be released from the project.

Do not release the contractor until this documentation is complete. Should TxDOT’s inspection show that the contractor did not follow cultural resources commitments, or that cultural resources are damaged, the contractor is responsible for correcting the work and/or damage at their own expense.
