Training

All local entities are required to have an individual qualified by the Department in Local Government Project Procedures assigned to each project being performed through an Advanced Funding Agreement (AFA). Through its Local Government Project Procedures (LGPP) Qualification Program, the Department offers a course that trains and qualifies individuals to work on these projects. Anyone working directly on or overseeing local government projects including senior managers, project managers, consultants, and local government employees is encouraged to complete this training. The Department requires all "qualified" persons to successfully complete the LGPP qualification course at least once every three years.
The class takes a total of 12 hours and covers the following topics.
  • Introduce to the qualification program
  • Applicable federal and state laws and regulations
  • Typhical TxDOT/local government contract terms
  • The project development process (contact execution through project close-out)
