🔍 Key Changes in 2025 Letting vs. Previous Years

  • Contract Count: 32 mowing/litter contracts in 2025 (vs. 27 in 2024, 32 in 2023, 41 in 2022) — TDOT has consolidated to more efficient contract groupings
  • New Standalone Contracts: Davidson County (CNZ713) and Shelby County (CNZ727) now have dedicated contracts, reflecting increased urban maintenance needs
  • Interstate Segregation: Multiple new Interstate-specific contracts (CNZ729, CNZ730, CNZ731, CNZ706) separate from state routes — 7 Interstate-focused contracts vs. 3-4 in previous years
  • Contract Boundaries Realigned: Significant county regrouping with 8 "Modified" contracts showing boundary changes to optimize logistics
  • Extended Performance Periods: 40% of contracts now run through 2027-2029 (vs. primarily 2-year contracts in 2022)
  • Historical Contract Values: 2022: $48.7M awarded | 2023: $30.9M awarded | 2024: $25.1M awarded — indicating more competitive pricing and TDOT budget optimization
  • Short-Term Contracts: 4 contracts expire 12/31/2026-2028, suggesting TDOT is testing new service areas before committing to longer terms
