  • Activity Narrative
  1. On non-Federal-Aid right of way projects when TxDOT is to administer the payments to utilities, it is necessary to execute an Agreement to Contribute Funds, with the LPA. This agreement is the LPA’s assignment to TxDOT of the responsibility to oversee the utility adjustment and payment process. In return, the LPA will escrow to TxDOT the agreed percentage of cost participation based on the right of way project estimate and amendments thereto. This agreement would have been executed under Right of Way Sub-process Activity IIIb, TxDOT-LPA Right of Way Contracts (see
    TxDOT-LPA Right of Way Contracts - Right of Way Sub-process Activity III (b)
    ).
