RE: Dr. Hector P. Garcia Park Hike& Bike Trail: Phase II —Trojan to Horne
City Project No.18115A
(Govind Development Design Services - Small Proposal)
Dear Mr. Edmonds,
Govind Development, LLC (GDL) is pleased to submit our Engineering Services small proposal for Dr.
Hector P. Garcia Park Hike & Bike Trail: Phase II — Trojan to Horne, providing the evaluation and
assessment for Phase 2, with approved scope and design services through the ELR. The project design
continues from the recently completed hike and bike segment (Phase 1) at the Hector P. Garcia Park.
Background and Purpose
This project is funded through the Transportation Alternatives Program (TxDOT) having limits along
Columbia Parkway (or Airport Ditch), from Trojan Drive to Horne Road. This project is shown on the
Bicycle Mobility Plan as Airport Ditch Hike and Bike, and its alignment is south to north through Dr.
Hector P. Garcia Park west of Greenwood Road and east of Airport Ditch running parallel with Columbia
Parkway. The limits are in an area having many services supporting the adjacent local community, such
as, LULAC Village and Cliff Maus Village. This project would take advantage of (3) existing pedestrian
bridges across Airport Ditch to the park from neighborhoods adjacent to John F. Kennedy Elementary
School and Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church to provide connectivity to and beyond the network.
The purpose of this project is to safely facilitate the flow for local pedestrian bicyclists, and other non-
motorized forms of transportation, for health services, public or charter schooling, food security,
recreation at the nearby park, pool, or Universal Little League. Another purpose of this project is to
provide better access for the adjacent population to further transportation alternatives via bus Route 23
on Horne Road and Bus Routes 19 and 25 on Greenwood Drive, and safe routes to schools along Trojan
Drive,Villarreal Drive, and Gollihar Road.

Scope of Work
Per the grant application,the Scope of Work includes design and construction of an approximately 4,000
LF hike and bike trail, delineated in the Bicycle Mobility Plan, along Airport Ditch from Trojan Drive to
Horne Road. This configuration is shown in the plan as an off-road, multi-use trail. The trail will be
developed with a 10' wide pavement section. Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete Pavement (HMAC) will be the
recommended building material, matching phase 1 just completed, as it is the most economical to
award and construct. Additional scope features include trailheads and way stations with paved plazas,
benches, water, tool kiosks, and shade amenities. Also, there may be an opportunity to provide
meanders to diversify user experience on the network, at the northern end of the project.
The Preliminary Engineering Letter Report will document the analyses, approach, opinions of probable
construction costs, and document the work with text, tables, schematic exhibits and computer models
or other applicable supporting documents required per City Standards.
Pavement section to be determined through City geotechnical contractor, based upon prevalent soils.
Project Estimate
The following estimated amount is on a lump sum basis:
Topographic Survey $13,500
Preliminary ELR $29,000
Total: $42,500
