County approves $49,415 supplemental agreement with HDR for outer-loop reports required by TxDOT and FHWA
Summary
Kaufman County approved a $49,415 supplemental agreement with HDR to produce a vulnerable road user report and intersection control evaluations for the outer loop project, with funding from connector-road balance and bond management.
Kaufman County commissioners approved a $49,415 supplemental agreement with engineering firm HDR for schematic-development reports required by TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration.
Miss Brenda (Speaker 8) said the FHWA and TxDOT now require two new reports during schematic development: a "vulnerable road user" report at major interchanges and an intersection control evaluation for each intersection. HDR proposed $49,415 to prepare those reports; Brenda recommended funding $34,000 from the remaining connector-road balance and $15,000 from bond management. The court approved the supplemental agreement.
Brenda told commissioners the reports will examine pedestrian and bicyclist safety near major interchanges and evaluate whether signalized four-way intersections remain the best alternative compared with roundabouts or other intersection types.
