All equipment must comply with current FHWA, MUTCD, NCHRP 350, and applicable federal, DOT, and State of Texas requirements, and the bidder assumes responsibility for supplying only compliant items.

Awards are made by section to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications. Bidders must price every item within each section they propose on, and may submit list prices and percent discounts for items not otherwise listed. Quantities are estimates, and the county may adjust them to actual needs without price adjustments.

The rental section requires daily, weekly, and monthly rates for specified signage types, plus delivery and setup charges. Rental periods are defined as 24 hours for a day, seven days for a week, and thirty days for a month. Awarded vendors must deliver and install signage, conduct daily inspections, maintain project sites, and report inspection results to the Tarrant County project manager.
