Design Services - Midway Drive Reconstruction

The City of Temple, Texas, is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide comprehensive roadway and civil engineering design, along with construction support services for the Midway Drive to Thornton Lane Corridor project. This project involves the full reconstruction of portions of Midway Drive, Hickory Road, and Thornton Lane, which form a continuous corridor within the Bird Creek Neighborhood District. The primary goal is to address the area's poor soil conditions by designing a resilient corridor that functions as a minor arterial, potentially with lane reductions, and includes enhancements such as drainage systems, bridge structures capable of handling a 100-year rainfall event, pedestrian facilities, wastewater infrastructure, and landscaping. Special emphasis is placed on expertise in roadway design in areas with expansive soils to ensure stability and longevity of the improvements. The solicitation, titled "Design Services - Midway Drive Reconstruction," is open under RFQ #34-03-24, with responses due by January 15, 2025. The contract is estimated to be valued between five and fifteen million dollars and is managed by the City of Temple’s Purchasing Department. Interested firms must demonstrate extensive experience in roadway projects involving challenging soil conditions, particularly expansive soils, to qualify for this project. The project aims to improve traffic flow, safety, and resilience of the corridor, supporting the city's infrastructure development goals in the region. More information and the opportunity to respond can be found through the city’s procurement portal.
