Where does this data come from?
These are real low-bid unit prices from public TxDOT Pharr district lettings — the prices contractors actually submitted, part of the public bid record, not a national cost book or a modeled estimate. Every figure shows the number of lettings behind it so you can weigh it yourself.
How current are these prices?
The index rebuilds nightly as new lettings land, so the figures track recent bidding — not an annual cost-book release.
