Agreement Review

All copies of the signed agreement are reviewed thoroughly to ensure that none of the provisions have been altered by the Producer/Supplier/Warehouse.

If the Producer/Supplier/Warehouse altered any of the provisions of the signed agreement, CST-BMS contacts the Responsible Branch Warehousing Program Coordinator and the Contract Services Section of the Office of General Counsel (OGC-CSS) for approval to execute the agreement for TxDOT. TxDOT will not execute agreements containing altered provisions without the approval of the Responsible Branch and OGC-CSS.

Step

Action
1

Remove any unsigned copies of the agreement from the CST-BMS files.

2

Assign a number to the signed agreement. The number consists of seven characters, with each set of characters separated by a hyphen:

  • the first pair of characters is the calendar year in which the agreement is executed
  • the next three characters are always the letters “WPM” for “Warehousing Pretested Materials”
  • the last pair of characters is the next number in numeric sequence of agreements that have been processed for the calendar year.

EXAMPLE: The third agreement processed in 2007 is assigned number 07-WPM-03. Type the number in the space provided at the top right hand corner on each copy of the agreement.

3

Place a routing tag on the original copies of the agreement. Route the agreements to the:

  • CST, Materials & Pavements Section Director;
  • CST-BMS staff handling agreement execution.
4

Tag the signature page of each original copy of the agreement to identify where the CST-M&P Director signs the agreement on behalf of TxDOT and attach the approved Form 1909 or approval for renewal.

5

Upon execution of the agreement by the CST-M&P Director or Assistant Section Director, all copies of the agreement are returned to CST-BMS.

Review all copies of the executed agreement to ensure the CST-M&P Director has signed with an original signature, and an execution date is indicated.
