Analysis
This project provides for the preparation of preliminary (30%) paving and drainage plans for one mile of future improved roadway at Fish Creek Road between Belt line Rd (FM 1382) and Westchase Dr. south of IH 20.
With the upcoming construction of the IH-20 Service Roads, staff recommends that the existing narrow asphalt roadway may be insufficient to provide for favorable area development. Additionally, this contract will provide for a conceptual Development exhibit of land uses, extension of Holly Hill Drive from Fish Creek Rd to IH-20 service road and a Utility study for future drainage, water and wastewater line stub-outs in the area to serve various development tracts.
This proposed engineering contract will also provide for a Geotechnical report for a slope evaluation of existing roadway embankment at the 90 degree roadway bend and a traffic study to evaluate and make recommendations for the alignment of Fish Creek Road.
This proposed Engineering contract will be scheduled to start in May 2017 with anticipated completion in October 2017.
