Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Waeltz & Prete, Inc. for the Red Bud Lane(North) - Right Turn Lane at Hwy 79 Project.
Body
Red Bud Lane is a major arterial roadway shown on the Transportation Master Plan to eventually connect from Georgetown (CR110) across Round Rock to Pflugerville (SH45). The existing segment of Red Bud Ln. between Palm Valley Blvd. (US79) and Old Settlers Blvd. experiences severe congestion due partially to recreation facilities on the west, residential and commercial developments on the east, and collector traffic moving north and south. This contract with Waeltz & Prete provides improvements needed to improve deficiencies including the addition of an auxiliary right turn lane between Palm Valley Blvd. and the Walmart driveway and applicable drainage and storm sewer adjustments. A conceptual schematic of the ultimate build-out to a four-lane divided major artieral roadway from Palm Valley Blvd to Mickey Mantle Place is also included. The total cost of these professional services with Waeltz & Prete is $115,368.84.
