Moving Cost
Base moving cost estimates on the moving plan or on previously
agreed upon terms and conditions. These estimates, particularly
those that TxDOT pays a company or individual to prepare, should include:
- dates (e.g. date prepared, date inspected);
- name and address of the company or person preparing the estimate;
- name of the person being moved;
- relocation address and move distance on which costs are calculated;
- a description of property to be moved or reinstalled; and
- applicable costs such as labor, transportation, packing and crating, special equipment, insurance, and materials needed for the move.
As an alternative to formal advertising, bids from qualified
contractors may be requested by mail, in-person, or via telephone.
