Dear Deborah ,
The City of College Station requests a proposal from Urban Design Group for the above work.
We are not soliciting other proposals for this work and will not, so long as we are negotiating
with Urban Design Group for this work. We are therefore requesting your proposal include a
fee schedule and estimate for the completed work.
The project cons ists of a collector street generally along the alignment of an existing 30' wide
easement connecting SH 6 to the City's Carter Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant. The
project limits are from SH 6 to Emerald Forest subdivis ion extending as w ide as is necessary to
contain permanent infrastructure and provide reasonable space for construction. The following
elements are to be included :
• Curb and gutter pavement with storm drainage . Pavement shall be designed in
consideration of projected traffic loads and the native soils' ability to carry the load . It shall
have at least a twenty year design life.
Sidewalks on both sides of the street.

We w ill expect your company to identify all easements necessary to construct and maintain the
facilities .
The successfully completed project will provide: legal descriptions complete with current
ownership and drawings of all permanent and any temporary Right of Ways and easements ;
alternative designs of pavement structure and geometry, pavement markings, drainage
solutions , street lighting, sidewalk location and materials , and streetscaping ; cost estimates for
each alternative and a summary tabulation ; and, an evaluation and recommendation of the
alternat ives considering quality of life and life cycle cost benefits .
We wish to complete this project(preliminary design) before July 1. Please tell us if your
company can commit to that target. Also, tell us how we may benefit if we choose to delay the
completion schedule. Continuing this project into final design will depend on the availability of
funds for construction and Right of Way acqu isition .
