New installations on active transportation projects or projects under construction require a , and:

plan review by the appropriate TxDOT Design or Construction office;
the TxDOT Representative to be selected for contact by the utility must be the TxDOT Project Engineer or designee; and
Form 1082 Utility Installation Request
should be executed by the District Engineer or designee.

If the

Form 1082 Utility Installation Request

may negatively impact the highway construction or cause potential delay claims, the request may be denied or deferred until highway construction is complete or progressed to a point where installation would not affect the highway project.

The demand for access to accommodate utility placement within TxDOT right of way will continue to grow. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important that utilities are carefully placed. The degree of inspection and attention to detail exercised for any placement should be the same as that for a TxDOT construction project.
