Water Master Plan
Background Information:
The City of San Marcos authorized Quiddity Engineering to design the replacement of approximately 1,500 linear feet of existing 12-inch water main located along University Drive, between Aquarena Springs Drive and CM Allen Parkway (PSA #224-265). The design is currently at the 60% phase.
During environmental coordination, the Texas Historical Commission (THC) determined that archaeological monitoring will be required during construction due to the projects location. Additionally, bidding and construction phase services were not included in the original contract but are now necessary to support project delivery.
This Authorization of Change in Service, ACIS 1, will amend the existing agreement to include:
- Archaeological monitoring during construction, as required by the THC;
- Bidding and construction phase services; and
- Record drawings
These additional services are essential to ensure proper coordination and oversight through the remainder of the project.
