There is no specific rule as to who should attend the preconstruction meeting. The contractor should be represented by the project supervisor, foreman, and any other supervisory personnel on the project. It is highly recommended that the following TxDOT personnel attend (as a minimum):

If traffic is expected to be a major factor, sometimes the Department of Public Safety (DPS) will be represented. Occasionally, a representative of the local police department will attend, especially if the project is located in a major metropolitan area. This police inclusion is recommended.

Any other people who have a direct interest or responsibility in the project may be invited to attend. This may include the district public information and safety representatives, Federal Highway Administration personnel, and occasionally, a representative of the asphalt supplier, especially if a special binder is specified.
