TxDOT Responsibilities
The following outlines the responsibilities for TxDOT regarding
PW Maintenance.
The Texas Department of Transportation should, at its own
expense:
- Maintain the surface of paved roads. (This will include surface, base, subbase, and subgrade.)
- Maintain unpaved roads. Surfaces will be bladed as necessary to provide adequate drainage. TPWD may designate some unpaved roads to receive only limited maintenance when requested by the facility manager.
- Maintain the surface of parking lots and camper pads to provide an acceptable parking surface and to provide for adequate drainage.
- Provide for maintenance of bridges. All components of bridges and channels within the limits of the normal construction width will be maintained by TxDOT.
- Maintain drainage inside the construction width of roadways. (Drainage maintenance should include repairs to all structures less than bridge classification and maintenance of all ditches under and adjacent to the road not to exceed the construction width.)
- Maintain and replace all existing regulatory and warning signs and delineators, such as stop signs, speed limit signs, etc.
- Maintain all road striping as currently exists and as required for safe traffic operations.
- Repair and replace existing guardrails and other safety appurtenances as necessary.
- Provide for the operation of all PR designated roads. TxDOT may close park roads when emergency conditions exist.
- Coordinate plans and schedules for significant repair such as seal coats with the facility manager.
The Maintenance Division has the responsibility to provide
TPWD with an annual report by facility of maintenance work performed.
