TxDOT’s goal is to allow a LG flexibility to effectively administer a project while minimizing the use of TxDOT resources. However, TxDOT has

an oversight

responsibility for all LG projects involving federal or state funds or impacting the state highway system (SHS). The degree to which TxDOT monitors these projects depends primarily on a combination of funding source, highway system, statutory requirements, demonstrated competence of the LG personnel and resources, and the potential risk posed by non-compliance.

TxDOT's

monitoring of construction projects on the SHS with state or federal funds will focus on proper geometric design, application of TxDOT material and construction quality standards, and compliance with statutory requirements. In summary, TxDOT will tailor the level of monitoring to the relative potential risk to TxDOT, the complexity of the relevant project and the capabilities of the LG Staff.
