The Texas Department of Transportation has issued solicitation 1127-05-024 for state-let construction safety improvements on FM 866 in Ector County. The project covers a net roadway length of 3,041 feet and primarily involves the installation of safety lighting and the addition of both left and right turn lanes. Key technical requirements include the installation of electrical services with permanent address markings on meter base lids and the use of materials from the TxDOT Construction Division Material Producer List. The project is scheduled for letting on December 1, 2026. Contractors must adhere to strict quality and safety standards, including National Electric Code and NEMA specifications for electrical work and the construction of 3:1 safety slopes for drop-offs exceeding two inches. Environmental compliance requires erosion and sediment control inspections every 30 days and lead hazard mitigation per OSHA controls if necessary. The project documentation includes a Traffic Control Plan and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, while certain elements are designated as confidential security information regarding U.S. Naval Air Force Operations. Standard steel pole designs do not require shop drawings, but alternate designs or the use of aluminum must be submitted electronically via the TxDOT website.
