Background Information:
The proposed on-call agreement for $3,281,773.35 with Lockwood, Andrews, and Newnam, Inc. (LAN), will provide engineering design, bid, and construction phase services for the City of San Marcos (City) related to Phase 1 of the Purgatory Creek Drainage Improvements project.
This scope of work includes completion of the design for the Phase 1 improvements. This is a continuation of contract 218-307 which authorized Phase 1 design through the 30% design stage.
This project was identified as a need in the 2007 Flood Protection Master Plan which described Purgatory Creek as presenting “a significant risk to life and property downstream of NRCS Reservoir No. 5 due to flooding”. Additionally, the project scope includes construction of a shared use path which was identified as a proposed greenway trail in the 2019 Parks Recreation and Open Space Master Plan.
Construction costs for Phase 1 are estimated at approximately $40 million. Construction is expected to start in 2030, but city staff are pursuing grant funding to expedite the schedule.
