An engineering service agreement with KSA Engineers Inc., which has an office in McKinney, was approved for an amount not to exceed $400,000 with $55,000 in contingency for additional engineering services. The funding was approved in the 2024 Capital Improvement Program, according to city documents.
During the Jan. 16 meeting, council awarded a preliminary design service contract to KSA in an amount not to exceed $136,000. This latest contract will allow KSA to further develop the design and produce a final design, according to city documents.
The details
The work would be on Randol Mill Avenue, from Morgan Road to south of West Dove Road, at the Westlake-Southlake border. Documents show construction starting Oct. 22 and running through Feb. 3, 2025.
The proposed improvements include upsizing an existing 8-inch water line with a 12-inch water line, as recommended in the city’s water masterplan. According to city documents, the upsizing will improve water flow, maintain pressure and align with recommendations from Freese and Nichols.
What else?
The work would also add a 5-foot sidewalk—on the east side of the roadway—that is part of the city’s pathways master plan, according to city documents. The addition of a sidewalk would connect the neighborhoods, such as Enclave, Dove Acres, Hillwood Estates, Regal Oaks and Tuscan Ridge, city document state.
The total length of the sidewalk would be about one-half mile or 2,700 linear feet and would match the existing section south of Morgan Road, according to city documents.
