Key deliverables include Concepts of Operations, preliminary design drawings, and Traffic Control Plans, with mandatory submittals at 30, 60, 90, and 100 percent completion phases. All work must adhere to TxDOT and AASHTO design criteria, as well as TMUTCD and ADAAG standards.

Contract administration is managed by the State Project Manager, with final acceptance contingent upon rigorous quality assurance and the submission of electronic files in MicroStation format. Payment is tied to the completion of deliverables and the resolution of all review comments. While the solicitation includes a DBE goal, it follows state-level procurement processes rather than federal FAR regulations.
