Analysis

On December 15, 2015 the City of Grand Prairie awarded a Professional Engineering Services contract to Teague, Nall and Perkins, Inc. for paving, drainage and waterline design of Seeton Road between Grand Peninsula Parkway and Day Miar Road in the amount of $424,000.  Subsequent Amendments provided for 8" PVC Wastewater main design; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permitting and Taaffe Creek Stream stability improvements coordination.  Note: Taaffe Creek Improvements plans (designed by Halff Associates, Inc.) were incorporated into Seeton Road Phase II plans due to its close proximity, upstream of Seeton Road to avoid erosion of the creek.

 

This project provides for the following improvements and approximate quantities:

 

- Reconstruction of approximately 5800 linear feet (22,400 square yards) of Seeton Road from its current two-lane asphalt section to a 3-lane 37' -wide curbed concrete section.

- 73 linear feet 6-7' x5' multi-box drainage culvert crossing of Seeton Road over Taaffe Creek

- 2400 Linear Feet of Various size storm drain pipes and culverts including curb inlets

- 2377 Linear Feet of 12" Waterline

- 1345 Linear Feet of 8" Wastewater line

-Channel excavation and installation of Rock riprap for Taaffe Creek stream stability

 

The first Phase of construction provides for full roadway closure of Seeton Road at Taaffe Creek, weather permitting.  This closure will help expedite construction during the summer months when schools are out.  All other phases will provide for one way and two way traffic.

 

The City of Grand Prairie advertised and received a Total of Three (3) bids for this project on April 1, 2020 as follows:
