West Main Street was identified in the City of La Porte’s Improvements Master Plan as a priority corridor. The City of La Porte hired a landscape architectural firm to draft a multimodal conceptual plan to enhance and beautify the corridor. Gauge Engineering will incorporate all information collected for the master plan and incorporate it into the preliminary engineering design. All efforts completed in this PER phase will be directly applicable to the final design phase to prevent any loss of design time. The project scope includes the following: • Develop a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for the project limits to fully scope out the project based on current conditions and standards to present to TIRZ 1, City of La Porte, Harris County, and TxDOT. • Build on all previous analysis and design efforts. • Collect traffic data and develop traffic engineering report. • Develop a roadway schematic/30% roadway and drainage plans. • Develop utility plans. • Utilize ATLAS 14 analysis to meet drainage criteria. • Develop a detailed cost estimate. • Develop initial utility matrix. Figure 1: Project Location 3/5/2025 Page 2 of 4 The following scope describes the procedures that will be followed to provide Preliminary Engineering services and produce the Preliminary Engineering Report. The details of the scope are as follows: I. PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING A. BASIC SERVICES 1. Site Visits and Data Collection a. Site visits are necessary to account for current site conditions. The area will be reviewed to confirm record drawings. Survey needs for detailed design will be identified and documented. Photographs and field verification of existing features will be completed during the field visit. 2. Review Record Drawings, Studies, and CCTV videos a. All available record drawings and information on the project area will be collected, reviewed, and used to the maximum degree possible. b. CCTV videos will be obtained from the City/Harris County and fully reviewed to better understand the condition of the sanitary sewer pipes. 3. Public Utilities Assessment Existing public utilities such as storm, water and wastewater infrastructure will all be compiled, investigated, evaluated and depicted in exhibits per City’s requirements. Gauge will coordinate with the La Porte Public Works department and Harris County to identify the ages of the utilities, rehabilitation dates and if they need to be replaced. B. ROADWAY DESIGN 1. Alternative Analysis Based on the conceptual architectural plan completed by Burditt and stakeholders outreach by the City, Gauge will evaluate a full reconstruction and retrofit alternatives of the proposed multi modal corridor. 2. Existing/Proposed Typical Sections Typical Sections for proposed and existing roadways will be developed. Typical sections shall include width of travel lanes, sidewalks, outer separations, border widths, curb offsets, and right-of-way (ROW). 3. Preliminary Roadway Schematic The preferred preliminary roadway option for the corridor will be laid out based on ROW survey. The exhibits will depict proposed roadway alignment, sidewalks, and driveways. 4. Preliminary Public Utilities Schematic A preliminary storm sewer, water and sanitary sewer alignment will be laid out on current aerial photography. 5. Sight Distance/Unobstructed Visibility Easement (UVE) Analysis Sight Distance Triangles and Unobstructed Visibility Easement’s (UVEs) will be evaluated for the intersections at 4th, 2nd, and Broadway. These intersections will include: • Evaluation of sight distance triangles for 15-, 20- and 25 - Feet for all 4 quadrants. • Actual pictures of what driver is seeing at all 4 quadrants • Identify Unobstructed Visibility Easement’s (UVEs) C.

Collect & Review Crash Data i. Collect available crash data for the previous five years available from the TxDOT CRIS database. Calculate intersection crash rates for signalized intersections and use the crash data to identify hot spots along the corridor for an enhanced review to help identify countermeasures to mitigate crash frequency and severity to include with corridor design. Identify common crash types in the data. This information will also inform elements and treatments to be used in the proposed design. Identify if any segments of the corridor or cross-streets are part of the City of Houston’s Vision Zero High Injury Network. ii. Conduct field visits utilizing relevant elements from FHWA Road Safety Audit guidelines. iii. Crash data (bike, ped, motorist), identification of hot spot area, crash trend analysis from 2014-2022, signalization and intersection, midblock, roadside safety features (signalized/unsignalized, median, crossing, hatching, rumble strips, center turn lane, sidewalk, ditch, lighting, etc.) iv. Conduct individual crash analysis including reviewing crash types with contributing factor information at crash hot spots along the corridor. v. Identify vulnerable road users (school zones, pedestrian tracks, bike/ped fatality and serious injury locations). e. Collect and Review Transit Data i. Collect available transit data for the corridor available from METRO. This will include existing and pre-COVID boarding and alighting data by stop and existing local services routes and headways. Existing METRO data for stop accessibility, and amenities such as benches and shelters will be assessed. f. Review Plans & Studies and Corridor Data i.
