I I 25A BISHOP STREET PAVING AND DRAINAGE PROJECT REVISED ESTIMATE OF PROJECT COSTS On August 1, 1980, Dabney-Byrn and Associates presented the City of San Marcos with a Summary of Project Costs for the Bishop Street Paving and Drainage Project. The initial report presented numerous scenarios for proposed improvements on Bishop Street. On September 8, 1980, representatives from Dabney-Byrn and Associates met with City officials to set project goals and to select a scenario which seemed most appropriate for obtaining those goals. It was decided at this meeting that scenario VI 4 from the above mentioned report be utilized as a starting point to delineate the scope of the project. The City representatives attached certain additional criteria to the basic scenario anD requested further cost analysis. This Revised Estimate of Project Costs, then, represents the results of a detailed study performed by Dabney-Byrn and Associates utilizing the guidelines set forth by City officials at the September 8th meetinr! The scope of the project. is to be outlined as follows: 1. The project area is to run from Progress Street to Ranch Road 12. 2. The existing street is to be overlayed and widened (as required) to 22' within the project area. 3. A five (5) foot shoulder is to be added to both sides of the 22 foot paved surface bringing the overall street width to thirty-two (32) feet throughout the project area. 4. Existing drainage ditches and structures within the project area are to be adjusted, relocated, or extended as required to accommodate the street widening. Only those drainage adjustments required by widening the street are proposed. (See Figure A.) It is understoou that the existing drainage design along Bishop Street is inadequate, yet present funding severely limits this aspect of the project. 5. The "blind hill" in Section A (originally presented in Section A, Scenario IB.2. of the August 1st report) is to be reconstructed to provide improved sight distances and safer traffic flow. The area under consideration here would run from approximately survey station 88+50 through 95+00 (see original construction plans, Westov,'r Paving and Drainage Project.)
