the retention of Kimley Horn as a consultant to perform the design work of that
section of the Hike and Bike Circle Trail System from Lake Wichita Park to Larry's
Marina
Mr. Barham opened the public hearing at 3: 10 p.m,
Russell Schreiber noted this item relates to the circle trail, and the completion of one of the
sections currently funded through the TxDOT TAP grant program, One of the major conditions of
that program is that all three sections (Lucy Park to Loop 11; SeynIOUr Irlighway to Barnett Road;
Lake Wichita Park to Larry's Marina) have to be under construction or completed by October
2020,
lie had, originally planned to hire an engineer from TxDOT to design this section of the
trail in question, but that engineer has since taken other employment. Due to timeline constraints
and the City Engineering division's staffing levels, it may be necessary to farm the design of this
section off to Kimley Horn. They are a statewide nationally recognized engineering firm. They do
a lot of TxDOT work and are familiar with the particular requirements of the grants, and with the
area, as they are the consultants for the Lake Wichita committee.
However, he is currently seeking to hire an additional engineer, and is particularly excited
about one particular candidate. lfhe is able to hire her, then she would be able to perform this work
and he Would not have the need for this funding assistance, Nevertheless, he felt it was important
to keep the process moving in a positive direction.
Mr. Clark asked the status of the trail sections. Mr. Schreiber said the Lucy Park to Loop
11 trail section is being bid. The Seymour Highway to Barnett Road section is designed and
awaiting approval from the Railroad. It should be ready for bid in August -October of this year,
