Standard Agreements
Background
In 2019, the TxDOT Contract Services Division (CSD) further streamlined formats for AFAs with LGs and included a newly identified category for on-system projects in which the LG contributes all funds and performs all activities known as a Local On System Improvement Project Agreement (LOSA).
The formats consist of standard agreements, such as:
- A local project AFA (AFA Long)
- A local project AFA with no federal funds (AFA Non-Federal Long); and
- A local project AFA for non-construction (AFA Non-Construction Long).
The use of the above agreements further simplifies the majority of local project agreements and substantially reduces executive review and processing time.
LGs should coordinate with their respective TxDOT district office to identify the most appropriate agreement type for the project. TxDOT staff may contact CSD for further guidance.
