Chica & Associates, Inc. has had several contracts with TxDOT throughout the state. These included 2 consecutive prime evergreens for the Beaumont District and four consecutive evergreens for the Abilene District.
The type and length of contracts, particularly in the Beaumont and Abilene districts, provide an indication of the quality of work the firm provides.
