7.4 Publish Plans/Proposals for Contractor Review and Bidding
7.4.1 Contractor Review
DES-FPP uploads the plans and proposals for access by contractors for TxDOT’s bid lettings. The plans/proposal are uploaded to Plans Online. Plans/Proposals are posted 21 days prior to the first day of letting.
Districts should be aware that it can take 1 – 2 weeks for DES-FPP to upload project plans/proposal depending on the number of projects in the month’s letting schedule. Submit the RTL plan set as early as possible.
Refer to the TxDOT.gov
for additional information on its use.
7.4.2 Contractor Bidding
The Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD), the Electronic Bidding System (iCX), and the project proposal are the official sources of advertisement and bidding information for the State and Local Lettings.
