Austin Avenue – Bridge Evaluations
(North and South San Gabriel Rivers)
Project No. TBD TIP Project No. N/A
June 2014
Project
Description
Evaluate the repairs necessary to restore full structural capacity to the Austin Avenue
bridges over the North and South San Gabriel Rivers. The process will involve several
phases – I) determination of testing needed, II) structural testing, analyses and
evaluation of test data to determine/recommend corrective measures and a project
budget, III) develop construction plans, specifications and contract documents, estimates
of probable construction costs and, last, IV) construction administration.
Purpose To extend the structural life of the two bridge and provide long‐term vehicular capacity
and pedestrian safety along Austin Avenue.
Project Manager Bill Dryden, P.E.
Engineer Aguirre & Fields, LP
North San Gabriel River Bridge South San Gabriel River Bridge
Element Status / Issues
Design Staff met with Engineer and discussed potential courses of action. There are four basic
paths to consider:
1) Do Nothing. The bridge remains weight limited. Continued rust, deterioration and
lose of concrete could cause the bridges to loose even more capacity in the next
inspection, or ultimately the failure of one or both of the bridges.
2) Short Term Temporary Fix. Seal joints on the beams and paint beams and girders to
restrict rust expansion and continued exterior erosion. We do not know how or if the
continued corrosion the bent caps will be affected by this. The bridge remains
weight limited for now, but it will remain at the same level for next 5 to 10 years.
3) Medium Term Fix. Remove the deck (superstructure) and replace bearings, flanges
and repair rusted beams, deck soffit and concrete. This step would mean the
ornamental pedestrian railing would have to be removed and brought up to
AASHTO/TxDOT standards. It will allow for the removal of the weight restrictions,
but will not allow the additional pedestrian facilities called for in the Downtown
Master Plan. And the substructure (abutment caps, bent columns, wing walls and
back walls) will still be 75 years old. This step may add 15 to 20 years of active life to
the bridge.
4) Replace Structure. This would involve removing existing bridges and replacing with
a new bridge with a 75 year design life. This could support the additional bicycle
and pedestrian facilities called for in the Downtown Master Plan. Construction may
be able to be phased to allow two lanes of the existing bridge to remain open during
construction.

Finance Department and/or City Manager’s Office work program, as outlined in the current
draft budget, can it be adequately staffed to complete this level of work over the next year?
2. Is the challenge to research Federal, State and Regional transportation organizations or is it
transit programs? This direction to staff is assuming it is transit programs.
3. Narrow the specific analysis to programs that are actually authorized to receive Federal
formula and discretionary funding programs found within the current Federal Transit
Administration. However, that would narrow the field down to three agencies or programs.
Capital Metro, Lone Star Rail and the State of Texas through the Texas Department of
Transportation. CARTS is only a contractor to Capital Metro and provides certain 5310
transit opportunities to persons outside of the Capital Metro Service Area in our jurisdiction.
CAMPO, Project Connect, Project Connect North and My35 are simply planning programs
that include staff from Capital Metro, Lone Star Rail District, and TxDOT and
representatives from local governments.
4. The analysis should be based on how those planning programs will lead to funding through
the project delivery agencies. (Fought amended to include financial risk and benefits to the City)
5. The Council should provide the Board and staff specifics on what type of economic analysis
data will lead to an ultimate decision by the City Council.
6. Finally, some people ‘can’t see what the final project would look like’ or ‘can’t see what a
Transit Oriented Development would look like.’ Years ago, when the City was looking at
transportation options and creating a TOD ordinance, there was a field trip to perform some
on the ground research. Members of the City Council, Planning and Zoning, and staff
(GTAB was not in existence at the time) went and stayed at a TOD to see for themselves.
We should have at least one field trip during this study. Since it has been about 8 years or
so since that first and only field trip, it should be extremely informative to do it again and
see what a TOD looks like today and how the project has performed over the years.
Vote on the original motion as amended: Approved (6‐1) (Hesser opposed)

SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action regarding Project Eligibility Findings for signalization, capacity,
and access improvements for the four (4) projects within the proposed Georgetown South Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ)- Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Transportation Services
Director, Nat Waggoner, PMP, Transportation Analyst.
ITEM SUMMARY:
The Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation must find a project eligible for 4B
sales tax funding before spending money on the project. Completed findings determine each
project's funding eligibility as authorized by the Development Corporation Act of 1979, as
amended (Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann ch. 5190.6, § 4B, Vernon's Texas Statutes). The Board must
make a specific motion that the project is:
1. Consistent with the ballot language establishing the sales tax;
2. Is an eligible expenditure following the State Statute; and
3. Is a type of project authorized by the State Statute.
In March, the GTEC Board initiated the balloting for four (4) projects. The Ballot results are
attached. The Board voted yes to all 3 principle questions, and yes as a majority to all sub-
questions in each category.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
If the Board so chooses to accept the results of the ballot, the following motion would be in order:
The Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Board, following guidelines provided by the City
Attorney, finds Transportation Project CK (Rabbit Hill Rd. from Round Rock Oakmont to
Westinghouse Rd.), Project CE (Blue Ridge Dr. Extension from Blue Springs Dr. to Westinghouse
Rd.)), Project BZ (Rabbit Hill Rd. from Westinghouse Rd to Blue Springs Dr.)), and Project CJ
(Westinghouse Rd from IH35 east to FM1460)) eligible for 4B funding, as each project (1)
conforms to the ballot language establishing the sales tax; (2) constitutes one or more costs
authorized by statute; and (3) is one or more of the types of project(s) authorized by statute,
documented by the GTEC Board Ranking of Eligibility: Ranking Summary completed in April
2014.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Projects found eligible will be included in the 2014-2015 Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) project list and will be scheduled according to the availability of their funding sources and
planned project activities.

Ranking of Eligibility: Ranking Summary completed in April 2014.
City of Georgetown, Texas
SUBJECT:
Presentation, discussion and possible recommendation on the Rivery Boulevard Extension
Project.- Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Transportation Services Director, and Jim Briggs, General
Manager of Utilities.
ITEM SUMMARY:
Current Status
At the May 27, 2013 City Council Meeting, Councilmember Brainard made the following motion,
which was approved by City Council: I move that the council direct the Georgetown
Transportation Enhancement Corporation and city staff to proceed as quickly as practicable with
processing of condemned properties associated with the Rivery Boulevard Extension project, with
the objective of making offers to purchase properties of affected owners as early as possible in city
fiscal year 2015.
While no property has been condemned for the project at this time, the Rivery Boulevard
Extension project design schematic was approved by City Council on May 20, 2013. At that time
GTEC had programmed a 5 year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for FY 2013/14
through FY 2017/18. That scheduled $1.5M for each year in FY 14/15 and FY 15/16 ($3M total)
for final design, completion of ROW maps and ROW acquisition. The GTEC action on the TIP
and City Council approval of the Extension design schematic minutes are attached. The current
draft TIP includes that funding for FY 14-15 and FY 15-16.
Background
In late 2012 and early 2013, at the time of development of the Rivery Boulevard Extension design
alternatives, both public and private meeting with individual property owners took place where
staff and the consultant discussed the funding issues related to buyouts, final design and
construction. Final design work would include completing the property surveys and boundaries for
the potential property acquisition. Staff anticipated putting final design and ROW money in the
next FY GTEC TIP. The draft FY 13/14 through FY 17/18 TIP presented to GTEC in March 2013,
included $2.5 million in FY 14/15 and $4.5 million for the project. Placing all money for final
design and most of the ROW money in one year. GTEC chose to program the design and ROW
acquisition over a two year period, and requested that the construction dollars be programed in the
GTAB Bond program.
The Rivery Boulevard Extension project construction is a candidate for the proposed May 2015
Transportation Bond Program election. As currently funded and planned, the design/engineering
will be completed using funds out of the FY 14/15 and FY15/16 GTEC budget so as to have a
“shovel ready” project should it be included in a successful bond election. The remaining portion
of the FY 14-15 GTEC budget would be used towards property acquisition; ultimately completion
of the ROW acquisition is scheduled for the FY 15-16 GTEC Budget.
Should development occur on the vacant properties, the City will request dedication in accordance
with the UDC regulations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
If it is the desire to begin ROW acquisition as soon as practicable, GTEC would have to amend it's
current budget to finalize design and ROW work this year or program all $3.0 million in next
year's TIP, to have adequate funds to complete design and final ROW maps and ultimately ROW
acquisition.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Staff is working with Georgetown based KPA Consulting Engineers to have a cost estimate for the
Task Order for final design work and preparation of ROW maps. Staff is also working with the
Georgetown office of Halff Associates, Inc, to have a cost estimate for the Task Order to complete
the ROW acquisition services. These totals will be presented to GTEC at the Board Meeting.
