The project includes analysis of State Highway 46 and Mary Boulevard/Saengerhalle Road intersections and recommendations for improving traffic flow and enhancing safety. The project tasks and review will be coordinated with Texas Department of Transportation.
On March 11, 2020 a task order was issued to prequalified professional engineers on the City’s IDIQ list. The City received responses on March 24, 2020. The responses were evaluated under four criteria:

• Proposed personnel including relevant experience, background, qualification, TxDOT precertification and task assignment
• Proposed timeline of project and tasks
Pape-Dawson Engineers, Inc. scored the highest of the respondents. The City then engaged with Pape-Dawson in developing the scope and fee. The fee for this work is $47,905 on an hourly-not-to-exceed contract.
