This was suppose to be part of the larger engineering project. We did not have the money for the larger engineer project until the voter approved bonds were passed in 2008. This project was to start in 2009/10 when we sold the bonds but 'TxDOT and the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA) was in the process of doing a toll analysis of the whole Bypass and SH 29 corridor - from Taylor to the County Line of Burnet. While that study was being conducted we were told to hold our money and wait. So we waited and waited and waited. We never heard back from TxDOT or CTRMA. So we called to find out what the status was. We were informed that that project did not pass the toll analysis. At this point we started working on what the scope of work would be because we did not want to start the Southeast Inner Loop as an engineering project, we wanted to do a roadway analysis to ensure that there would be adequate mobility around the Southeast Inner Loop. Also, having the core analysis will help us with justification of the shift of the bridge structure at FM 1460. Dryden informed the board that staff reviewed six firms during the selection process. The committee selected KPA as the most qualified firm to provide the preliminary engineering schematic design and report. TxDOT has also agreed with our selection. Armour asked hasn't this study been done already. The answer was no, the Inner Loop from IH 35 to Rockride Lane (CR 110) as never been looked at by its self. Motion by Meigs, seconded by Jonrowe to approve Task Order KPA 12-006 in the amount of $706,000.00. Approved 6-0 (Hunt absent) 111. ADJOURN Motion by Meigs, seconded by Armour to adjourn meeting. Approved 6-0 (Hunt absent) Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 10:27 AM. Approved: z William Maples 7- Chair Truman Hunt — Secretary Jana R.
