This task order is for professional engineering design services necessary for the expansion of SE Inner Loop (FM1460 to SH29).
The Project will reconstruct SE Inner Loop from FM 1460 to SH 29 in Georgetown. This scope of work consists of preparing the preliminary schematics, environmental reports, Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) and construction phase services for a single alignment. The project length along the anticipated alignment is approximately 2.8 miles.
The project shall consist of a two main typical sections: a 5 lane two-way-left turn lane from FM 1460 to Sam Houston, and a 4-lane divided arterial with a raised median from Sam Houston to SH 29. Additional project elements include, curb and gutter, sidewalks, drainage facilities, water quality, street lighting, traffic signal planning with interim appurtenances and public water / wastewater utility adjustments, and ROW document.
As part of this task order, additional effort will be put into evaluating alternative intersection alignments (considering both interim and ultimate conditions) at SE Inner Loop, SE1/Sam Houston, and Maple.
The Engineer will also provide the necessary engineering and technical services for the completion of public involvement, permitting including TCEQ, surveying and mapping, identification of utility conflicts, coordination with utility companies, preparation of PS&E, bid phase services and construction phase services.
Staff recommends award of this design task order to CP&Y.
