Senate Bill 1270 amends the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to award a contract as a purchase of goods under the State Purchasing and General Services Act for certain highway devices and materials if TxDOT estimates that the contract will be within an amount for which TxDOT has purchasing authority and determines that the competitive bidding procedure for highway projects is not practical. Among other provisions, the bill revises the conditions under which TxDOT may award a maintenance contract as a purchase of service under the act to reflect the same conditions under which TxDOT may award a contract for those devices and materials.
