Section 130
or Basic Closure Program)

The work activities associated with the closure of the crossing may be performed
by
:
  • Local government
    labor.
  • Labor
    from other governmental entities.
  • Private contractors.
In the event the local government determines that the work will be performed using private contractors, the local government must solicit for a minimum of three bids and have one person working directly on the project complete the Local Government Project Procedures for the Texas Department of Transportation training course. If three bids cannot be obtained, the local government should notify TxDOT to explain the circumstances surrounding the bid solicitation. The local government must award the work to the lowest responsive qualified bidder.
