The B&B Team designed and managed street and drainage improvements along Mimosa Avenue from Midway Drive to Teakwood Road. The major improvements in the area were introduced to save long-term maintenance costs and to reduce capital improvement costs in the reconstruction of existing streets. The design included the addition of ADA-compliant safety features such as pedestrian accessibility, modernized underground drainage structure, reduction of high maintenance landscaping with new channeling of street-surface stormwater runoff through pathways so that it can easily seep into the 6-mile Paso Del Norte Playa drainage ponds located on Vocational Park at Mimosa Ave., Balsam Dr., and Ascarate Park. The B&B surveying team performed a boundary survey of right-of-way to determine available right-of-way and identify potential encroachments. All designs met engineering standards and all applicable local codes and requirements and were consistent with the NACTO guidelines that are found in the Urban Street and bicycle Design Guides. B&B conformed drainage improvements to the COEP Master Drainage Plan and coordinated with all utilities, the EPW Storm Water Division and City Engineering. The drainage overhaul included drainage inlets with grates; junction boxes; 18-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch, 48-inch, 60-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP); and the replacement of a corrugated metal pipe 9-ftx7-ft concrete box culvert with headwalls.
Initial Construction Cost: $962,662.70
