Additional Backup Information:
The Burnet Road Corridor C4 Segment project consists of the construction of over one mile of critical safety and mobility improvements along Burnet Road (FM 1325) from US 183 to Bright Verde Way. Improvements include construction of new eight foot wide shared-use paths on both sides of the roadway; Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant bus stops; curb and gutter; pavement rehabilitation; intersection and traffic signal improvements at Research Boulevard, Waterford Center Boulevard, Longhorn Boulevard, and Rutland Drive; driveway reconstruction; new pavement markings and signage; and utility adjustments. Drainage improvements will incorporate stormwater detention and water quality structures, with landscaping enhancements adding trees and greenery along the new pedestrian and bikeway facilities. The project also includes water line upgrades along Burnet Road consisting of approximately 1,889 linear feet of ductile iron pipe and two service connections and equipment.
This project includes two allowances. An allowance of $400,000 will be used to address the handling and disposal of contaminated soil and an allowance of $150,000 will be used to address asphalt adjustments associated with production, quality, and placement for the pavement rehabilitation. An allowance is an amount that is specified and included in the construction contract or specifications for certain items of work whose details are not yet determined at the time of bidding.

By authorizing the additional contingency funding, Council is authorizing any change orders within the contingency amount.

The contractor will work to ensure that residents and businesses always have access to their driveways and residents will be notified in advance of planned service interruptions.
A delay in issuing this contract will impact the rollout mobility improvements to the Burnet Road Corridor.
