Due to the concerns that City Council and various citizens have expressed regarding the lack of street

study was conducted in 2018. The study included both street and pedestrian lighting levels throughout the
corridor. The project was included in the 2019 Bond Package approved by Voters in November 2019.
The US 380/University Drive Street Lighting Improvements project will cover the design of the street
lighting improvements along US380/University Drive from IH-35 to Mayhill Road. Work under this
agreement consists of project management, data collection, street light modeling, conceptual design,
preliminary and final design, bid phase services, construction phase services, topographic survey, and
subsurface utility engineering
The City’s prequalified list of engineers was evaluated and ranked based on their qualifications, knowledge,
and experience in street lighting projects of similar type and magnitude. Staff found Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. to have the most relevant experience and the most qualified firm to perform this work.
Request for Qualifications for professional engineering services was solicited using the City’s formal
solicitation process. City Council approved a pre-qualified list of engineering firms on May 18, 2021
