BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As part of the 2023 Bond Program, Pape Dawson Engineers was retained to complete the final plans, schematic, and estimates for Conrads Lane Phase 1 from Goodwin Lane to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Phase 2 will be the completion of a schematic design and roadway summary for Conrads Lane from FM 1102 to the end of Phase 1 and the intersection of Hunter Road and FM 1102. The cost of the contract modification for schematic design and roadway summary is $153,942.50 making the total contract value $1,171,208.
The current intersection of Hunter Road, Conrads Lane, and FM 1102 is off set which creates an intersection with operational and safety challenges. The effort for the proposed realignment will complete preliminary engineering analysis to realign Conrads Lane to Hunter Road for a four-way standard intersection. Pape Dawson will provide conceptual geometric exhibits, collect FEMA models, Atlas 14 data, provide roadway engineering summary, along with geotechnical information & typical sections, and present opinion of probable construction costs. Any environmental constraints and design constraints will also be provided to inform future project development. The project will involve coordination with Comal County, TxDOT, and Union Pacific due to overlapping jurisdictions, and determine the final alignment and potential cost participation.
ISSUE:
Continue and ongoing program of infrastructure construction and maintenance
STRATEGIC PLAN REFERENCE:
☐Economic Mobility ☒Enhanced Connectivity ☐Community Identity
☐Organizational Excellence ☐Community Well-Being ☐N/A
Provide safer intersections for the continued growth in this area
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the 2023 Bond Program Fund to cover the additional $153,942.50 cost of the contract modification for schematic design and roadway summary.
Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a contract modification with Pape Dawson Engineers Inc. for the completion of a schematic design and roadway summary for Conrads Lane from FM 1102 to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks in the amount of $153,942.50.
