Background Information:
This project includes the reconstruction of CM Allen Roadway between E. Hopkins Street and University Drive and installation of storm drain system, water quality BMPs, street lighting, sidewalks, multi-use pathway, traffic signals, traffic control, driveways, irrigation, and landscaping. The award is for the Base Bid with Alternates 2 & # which include a schedule reduction of 60 days and landscape, irrigation and water quality BMP maintenance for two years.
Seven (7) bids were received on May 24, 2018 for the CM Allen Parkway Improvements project, 218-010. An analysis of the bids has been performed and award is recommended to the low bidder, MA Smith Contracting Company, Inc., Austin, Texas.
This project will implement the direction from Council for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with on-street parallel parking and a landscaped center median. The street cross section will support the removal of parking and the conversion to a 4-lane section in the future if desired.
During construction the roadway will be completely closed between Hopkins and University for the 10-month project duration. Coordination with local businesses, Sights & Sounds and Texas State has occurred to ensure appropriate access to business and park events. Traffic will be detoured to Edward Gary. Measures have been taken at Edward Gary at Hopkins and University to facilitate traffic flow. The Hutchison intersection with Edward Gary will allow the free flow of traffic on Edward Gary.
Completion is scheduled for April 2019.
