The OPR’s responsibilities under an implementation project are documented in various ways, depending on the scope of the work. Contracts related to the OPR’s or other TxDOT responsibilities are not typically executed by RTI. The implementation program generally does not fund purchases or contracts executed by a district or division.

RTI determines the best way to establish funding under implementation projects for TxDOT contracts and purchases. When purchases can be charged to RTI’s budget, RTI provides a charge number to the district or division making the purchase. When funding must be established in a different budget strategy, RTI initiates a transfer of budget authority to the appropriate strategy funding the contract.
