8.2.3 Submit Letting Schedule Modification (if necessary)

Project letting dates are occasionally changed in TxC due to varying circumstances. One of the circumstances is if the bid is not awarded as discussed in
Section 8.4.2
. Other instances described below prior to letting may also require the use of a Letting Schedule Modification (LSM) form.
The LSM form is used to request any of the following changes:
  • Add or reschedule a Let Date;
  • Associate or disassociate projects; or
  • Cancel a project.
If any of the following scenarios are present, a LSM form is required since TxC users will not be able to make changes to the Estimated Let Date, Associate/Disassociate Projects, or Cancel Projects:
  • When the Estimated Let Date is in the current fiscal year;
  • If there has been an Approved Let Date;
  • A change is made that accelerates the project to the current fiscal year; or
  • If changes are moving the Estimated Let Date to within 4 months of the current date.
The status of utilities, ROW, railroad, STIP and NEPA must be included in the LSM request in TxC.
If moving a project to within the next 4 months of lettings
, add one of the following statements to the LSM request:
  • The project is all clear with respect to Utilities, ROW, Railroad, STIP, and NEPA; or
  • The project has unclear
    ______________
    (fill in the blank). We have submitted the project certifications, along with STIP and NEPA status, to DES for their review and approval.
The LSM is accessed, completed, submitted, and monitored until approval through TxDOTCONNECT on the Workflow, Forms & Documents page.
