Sam:
On the East Sandy Lake project, we referenced the TxDOT standard on the plans sheets and in the pay item
description (i.e. The pay item shall consist of the installation of a cast-in-place culvert in accordance with TxDOT
Standard MC-10-23. Work shall be in accordance with all applicable TxDOT Specifications and Drawings). On
the Portable Concrete Barriers we stated that: Work shall be in compliance with TxDOT Specifications Item 512
and Drawing PCTB (1&2) - 02. We included some of the major points from the TxDOT Item in our pay item
description, but we did not include the full item description.
We prepared those specifications in-house, so I would follow them.

Suzan,
The designs of the bridge and the traffic signals both follow TxDOT standards and are not covered under the
NCTCOG specifications. We have a couple questions about how we should reference those in the plans and
specs. Please let me know how the City would prefer us to reference these standards.
· We plan to use TxDOT standard specs for the bridge construction. I have a note on the bridge referring
all bridge construction to TxDOT standard spec. Is this note good enough without including the TxDOT
sections in the project spec.?
· If we do need to include TxDOT sections in the project spec, do we include the full section of the TxDOT
spec. or just list the item number with title on index?
· Do you need full description for each TxDOT pay item or just item No. with title?
