Background Information:
This Authorization of Change in Service (ACIS) #3 is for $13,245 to provide final design modifications required due to the recent Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) specification revisions. This ACIS will cause the contract to exceed the $50,000 threshold for administrative approval. The original contract 219-063 with HDR consisted of a traffic study then two subsequent ACIS for final design, bid and construction phase services.
Following the construction completion of the Loop 82 Overpass, the need for a controlled intersection at the Bobcat Stadium driveway intersection became apparent during football games. Based on a traffic study performed by HDR a signalized intersection is not yet warranted but during football games an alternative of installing a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) has been approved by TxDOT for this location. This area is within TxDOT right-of-way, and the chain of approval has been processed.
The construction was solicited for bids last year and the city received no bids due to an issue with TxDOT specifications. Since then, the issue has been resolved and the city has issued the solicitation for construction. Bids are due May 26, 2022.
This project is scheduled to start construction in mid-June with final completion anticipated prior to the Texas State football season in September. Construction cost is estimated at $68,931.05.
