We understand the project is to involve removal and replacement of sidewalks and curb and gutter around the Plaza, and for about 1/2 block from the Plaza in each direction. New sidewalks would meet applicable handicap accessibility requirements, and contain decorative elements as well as historic lighting, planting areas, landscape irrigation and related features. Some of the sidewalks will he structural, spanning basements of the adjoining buildings. The project is partially funded through the TxDOT TEA 21 program, and coordination with TxDOT will be an integral part of this assignment. Our firm currently has 4 projects underway which illustrate experience and qualifications on projects of a similar nature. Two of these are in Bonham -- Bonham Central Business District Improvements -- This $820,865 project involves the removal and replacement of existing sidewalks and curbs around the square in downtown Bonham. Historic lighting is being installed, together with landscape areas and irrigation. This project is being funded by the City of Bonham and the Texas Capital Fund. Since both the south and the east sides of the square are state highways, coordination with TxDOT has been an integral part of the project. David Beard, P.E., is serving as project manager for this project, on which construction is currently about 50% complete. Alan Vanderburg, P.E., provided the electrical design for the historic lighting.
