Frequently asked questions about TxDOT Item 503

What is a TxDOT bid item code?

A bid item code is TxDOT's standardized identifier for a specific pay item, such as mobilization or a particular type of pavement, used to structure every bid tabulation the department publishes for a letting.

How do I find competitor pricing for a specific TxDOT bid item?

Enter the bid item code or its description, set a time window and optional location filter, and every competitor's unit price on that item across matching TxDOT lettings is returned, grouped by bid quantity.

Why does unit price vary so much for the same bid item?

Unit price scales with order quantity, project location, and district-level material and labor costs. A small order and a large order on the same item rarely price the same per unit. That's why we show both the average unit price and the full breakdown by quantity: the average tells you the market range, the quantity breakdown tells you where your specific bid falls in it.

How do I price a bid item for my next TxDOT bid using historical data?

Start with the average for a quick gut-check, then match your project's quantity band and district against comparable historical lettings, and use the range of competitor unit prices in that band as your final benchmark.

Can I compare bid item pricing by district or county?

Yes. Filtering by district or county narrows results to the local market where you're actually bidding, since TxDOT pricing on the same item can differ meaningfully across districts.

Is TxDOT bid item pricing data public?

Yes. TxDOT publishes complete bid tabulation records after every letting, including every competitor (vendor), every bid item, and every unit price. This tool structures that public data for direct comparison by item, quantity, and location.

How current is the competitor pricing data?

Data covers up to 24 months of TxDOT letting history by default, adjustable to a shorter window for more recent pricing only.

Why look at competitor prices when the Engineer's Estimate is published?

The Engineer's Estimate is one reference point set before bidding. Actual competitor unit prices show what contractors really bid in practice, which is a more reliable benchmark for pricing your own bid competitively.

Does this show pricing for lump-sum bid items too?

Yes, lump-sum items are included alongside unit-price items, shown with their bid quantity and price the same way as any other bid item code.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. Looking up bid item pricing here is free—no account required. When you are ready to price every item on a letting, enter your CSJ and work email under Price my whole bid and we email a full run back within 24 hours.

Why do some bids come in near zero?

A near-zero bid on one item is usually priced below market and recovered elsewhere on the bid. Near-zero bids are excluded from the figures on this page when present.

Why is the average price higher than what most bidders charge?

The average includes every bid, winning and losing, weighted by quantity. The median winning bid only counts the price that won each letting, so it is often lower than a quantity-weighted average that still carries high losing bids.
