Halff Associates was selected to investigate and complete a feasibility study, develop a schematic design plan and budget estimate, all of which have been completed. Subsequently, Halff Associates was selected in October 2008 to prepare and present design development documents and prepare construction documents for competitive sealed proposal bids within the scope and limits of the project. TSUS awarded an A-E contract to Halff in December 2008. The Campus Bike Path project will encompass two bikeway corridors across the Texas State University-San Marcos campus. The north Bike Path begins at the Texas State Golf Center continuing along the northern edge of Spring Lake to the Tennis Center. The south bike path connects the Bobcat Stadium, Strahan Coliseum, crossing the San Marcos River, and terminating at the J C Kellam Administration Building. Project improvements will consist of improved trail sections, two pre-manufactured pedestrian / bicycle bridge structures, an elevated boardwalk structure, demolition of an existing greenhouse, design of drainage improvements, and locations of seating and rest areas along the trail which may include bike racks, benches, and / or drinking fountains.

 

Status: Design development documents were approved by the Board in June 2009. The Total Project Cost presented included $332,691 for the value of the Texas State land used as a non-cash “in-kind” match for the TxDOT administrated, CAMPO transportation grant.
