AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution approving an amendment to the agreement
with Toole Design and authorizing the amended expenditure of funds for the Interurban
Pedestrian Corridor Project and Downtown Plan Consulting. (CDC)
SUMMARY:
On May 9, 2024, the Board approved an agreement with Toole Design and authorized
the expenditure of funds not to exceed $150,000 for the scope of work and
implementation of the Interurban Pedestrian Corridor Project and Downtown Plan
Consulting (Small Area Plan). During our kickoff meeting, staff was advised that the
scope of work would only include 10% of the construction documents in PDF format.
When staff asked about obtaining 100% of the construction documents, Toole Design
advised that the fee would be slightly different from what was originally proposed. The
original cost proposal provided by Toole Design was $133,660.
Toole Design has provided an updated agreement which includes 100% of the
construction documents and the newly proposed fee of $169,300. The purpose of this

SCOPE AND FEE
CONCEPT DESIGN AND SMALL AREA PLAN
CITY OF ANNA, TX
APPROACH
Based on feedback from the City of Anna, Toole Design has revised our approach for the Interurban Pedestrian
Thoroughfare and the Small Area Plan. At the City's request, we have separated these efforts into different
phases. The revised scope clarifies the deliverables associated with each phase of work. The design duration is
estimated to be 9 months.
PHASE 1: CONCEPT DESIGN
Task 1.1: Project Kickoff Tasks
Project Kickoff Meeting
We propose to start this process with a kickoff meeting with the Project Management Team (PMT). The meeting
will establish project expectations (scope and deliverables), roles and responsibilities of the PMT, lines of
communication, and project timeframe. We will also seek direction and/or confirmation of the public engagement
strategy to ensure that key stakeholders and the public will have a meaningful role in shaping the design .
Everyone will leave this meeting with a clear plan for project execution and completion.
Project Work Plan
Following the kickoff meeting a Project Work Plan will be developed to guide the project delivery process. The
Project Work Plan will include:
• Project schedule covering key milestones, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and design reviews,
deliverables, and tentative meeting dates
• List of lead staff and/or departments responsible for each task
• List of agencies/departments requiring approval for each task and/or deliverable
• Communication protocol
• Document control protocol
• QA/QC Plan that includes details of the internal team review process
• Change management strategy
• Public engagement strategy summarizing level of engagement for stakeholders and general public
Project Manager Check-in Calls
Toole Design’s Project Manager will schedule monthly recurring virtual check -in calls with the City Project
Manager. Toole Design assumes staff needed for these meetings will vary based on project progress, but
generally will have two staff people attend.
2
Internal Project Team Kickoff and Recurring Check-ins
Toole Design will hold an internal team meeting at the beginning of the Project to discuss schedule, team
responsibilities, and methods for collaborative workflow. Internal team calls will be conducted as necessary during
the project duration to communicate with the internal team and monitor progress of the Project for its duration.
Task 1.2 Design Charrette
Toole Design will perform a design charrette to develop starter designs for the Interurban Pedestrian
Thoroughfare. This charrette will last for four (4) days, during which time the design team will collaborate with the
public, the City and key stakeholders to develop and refine design concepts for the pedestrian thoroughfare in
anticipation of advancing the concept to engineering. By the end of the charrette, the goal is to achieve informed
consensus on the preferred concept.
Prior to the Charrette
Prior to the design charrette and with the help of the City of Anna, the design team will collect any readily
available to-scale aerial maps, GIS information, base mapping, previous design work, comprehensive plan
information, and any previous studies or materials. It is assumed that the City will provide a topographical survey
to assess the available public right-of-way and utilities of the study area. The design team will process the base
maps to the right scale and format.
Day 1: Discovery + Site Visit
The Toole Design Team will arrive early on Day 1 and set up the workspace at the venue. Toole Design will meet
with City to recap what happened in Phase 1, discuss any changes that may have occurred, and review the
schedule for the week. The remainder of the day, the Toole Design Team will work at the venue.
Days 2 and 3: Development of Alternatives
The Toole Design Team will create a series of conceptual alternatives for Interurban Street that will include typical
cross sections and sample plan-view drawings defining the public realm. The alternatives will include the
identification of character zones and/or programming, a palette of potential materials, and treatments for
transitioning to adjacent streets. These products may be both hand -drawn and computer aided to convey the look
and feel of each alternative. The drawings will assist stakeholders in discussing the trade -offs and priorities. On
the evening of Day 3, we will host a pin-up for the PMT and City to review the alternatives and provide any
additional insight.
Day 4: Alternative Refinement and Presentation
The conceptual alternatives for Interurban Street will be analyzed for strengths and weaknesses. The team will
compare the alternatives to determine the best options given the various factors which will influence the project:
vision, goals, safety, operations, network connectivity, urban design, right-of-way, and constructability. In the
evening of Day 4, a public meeting will be held to present the alternatives. This feedback will help advance the
preferred concept plan for Interurban Street.
Phase 1 Deliverables and Meetings
A four-day design charrette, which will include the following:
• A minimum of two (2) hand-drawn conceptual alternatives of Interurban Street
• Typical cross sections and sample plan-view drawings for each alternative
• Process sketches that illustrate how design decisions are made
• A draft materials palette
3
• One (1) meeting with the PMT and the City to review alternatives and provide feedback
• One (1) meeting with the public to present alternatives and select a preferred concept
PHASE 2: DESIGN & ENGINEERING
The bulk of the engineering and design work is accomplished during the Design & Engineering Phase. Based on
our conversations with the City, we will provide two milestone submissions (90% and 100%) for the final
construction documents.
Our team will develop the 90% Design Package, which will advance the preferred design from the charrette using
AutoCAD software based on survey data. We will verify that the design is constructable and consistent with the
original project purpose. We will develop an opinion of probable cost and finalize material palettes and site
furnishing choices for permit review submittal.
Based upon the 90% review, Toole Design will incorporate applicable comments and finalize the plans, special
provisions, and opinion of cost to a final level of detail. The 100% package will include special provisions, the
approved permit plans, and be signed and sealed
Toole Design anticipates that a Land Disturbance Permit and NPDES permit will be issued by the city,
A Driveway encroachment permit will be obtained from TXDOT. All permit submittals will be made during the
90% design phase. The permit will adhere to the standards set forth in the City of Anna Design Manual, Texas
DOT Roadway Design and Access Management Manual. Toole Design only anticipates one round of review
comments from each permitting agency, additional rounds of comments will result in an amendment to the scope
and fee.
Toole Design will not perform any utility relocations. The project plans will be designed to avoid utility conflicts
where possible and minimize impacts where conflicts cannot be avoided. Notation of potential utility conflicts and
recommendations for minor adjustments will be made with the understanding that the City may want to relocate
their overhead utilities below ground. Toole design may show proposed conduit locations on the construction
plans as directed by the City for information only.
Throughout each stage of design, substantial Quality Control reviews are required prior to each submission to the
client following the Toole Design Quality Assurance and Control Program. Once design packages are provided to
the City at each milestone submission, Toole Design will prepar e one round of unified responses to the comments
and perform a final QA/QC review to ensure all comments have been addressed before advancing the project
design.Toole Design understands that the City may have a slightly different process, but we apply ours to all
projects and adjust as necessary.
Task 2.1: 90% Design Package
• 90% Design Package, which will include:
o Construction Plans, Details, and Draft Specifications
o Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
• 90% Review Comment Resolution Meeting
• *Note: The City will submit the 9% Plans to TxDOT for the Driveway Permit
Task 2.2: 100% Design Package
• 100% Design Package, which will include:
o Signed and Sealed Construction Plans, Details, and Specifications
4
Toole Design will develop Design Plans in AutoCAD (at 1”:20’). Sheet information may be combined and/or
reorganized as design development progresses.
o Anticipated sheets include:
▪ Title Sheet
▪ Legends, Abbreviations, and General Notes
▪ Typical Sections
▪ Summary of Quantities
▪ Existing Conditions/Survey Control
▪ Site Preparation/Demolition Plan
▪ Construction Plan
▪ Civil and Transportation Details
▪ Intersection and Curb Ramp Enlargements
▪ Landscape/Hardscape Plans
▪ Landscape/Hardscape Details and Schedule
▪ Erosion Control Plan
▪ Erosion Control Details
PHASE 3: SMALL AREA PLAN
Task 3.1 Existing Conditions Assessment
The small area plan effort will begin with an in-person meeting hosted by the City. This meeting will occur during
the Design Charrette noted in Task 1.2, above. This meeting will be used to confirm scope and schedule, discuss
project sensitivities, and determine additional background information needed. During this visit to Anna, Toole
Design will also complete an initial public realm assessment. We will tour the small area plan study area, identify
amenities, document land uses and potential developable parcels, and familiarize ourselves with the physical
characteristics of the streets.
Plan and Policy Review
Existing plans, policies, and regulations that influence the Plan will be reviewed. Anna already has several
visionary planning documents for Downtown. Beyond summarizing the contents of each document, this task will
include discussion with staff to understand barriers to implementing previous plans as well as the practical value
of key documents in influencing public investment and private development as it relates to streetscapes in and
around the study area.
Existing Conditions Basemap
Toole Design will produce an existing conditions basemap of the study area. This map will serve as the basis for
developing a series of diagrams showing the relationship between existing characteristics such as the overall
transportation network, major destinations, and land use patterns. The basemap will be developed to a sufficient
level of detail to facilitate development of street cross -sections, any site-specific conceptual designs, and cost
estimates created in subsequent tasks.
Task 3.2 Draft Urban Design Strategy
Based on the Toole Design will develop a preliminary Urban Design Strategy for Downtown. The Strategy will
consist of two parts — 1) a Small Area Plan outline and 2) a Materials Guide and will contain aesthetic treatments
that can be applied elsewhere in Anna, should the City choose to do so. The Urban Design Strategy will ensure a
cohesive concept design for Downtown Anna.
5
Draft Small Area Plan Outline
The draft small area plan outline will illustratively identify the placemaking components that will form a cohesive
vision for Downtown Anna. These components are anticipated to include, but may not be limited to, pedestrian
zones, crossing treatments, pedestrian and roadway lighting, site furnishings, high-level guidance for architectural
forms and building frontages, strategies for loading and delivery, outdoor dining, vegetation, parking, transit, and
wayfinding. Toole Design will develop or modify standard details, as necessary, to accompany proposed
streetscape components.
Materials Guide
The Materials Guide will provide guidance for application, installation, and maintenance of specific materials and
products (e.g., paving materials, detectable surfaces, plant species). Congruency and departure from existing City
guidelines will be clearly noted. The Materials Guide can apply to the Interurban Pedestrian Thoroughfare as well
as other areas in Downtown Anna.
Concepts
Toole Design will develop a maximum of two concepts each for two key locations:
• Gateway treatment at the intersection of FM 455 and SH 5
• Pedestrian crossings along SH 5
These concepts will be hand-sketched and will incorporate placemaking components and materials that have
been selected for the Materials Guide that have been developed as part of the efforts above.
Task 3.3 Draft and Final Report
Toole Design will develop the Draft and Final Small Area Plan based on information gathered and created in all
previous small area plan tasks. The document will not exceed 20 pages in length with additional detail, as
needed, provided in a supported addendum. Our team anticipates working with City staff to provide opportunity
for public input on the Draft Plan before submitting the Final Plan.
Phase 3 Deliverables and Meetings
• Draft Small Area Plan in PDF format
• Comment Resolution Meeting for Draft Small Area Plan
• Final Area Plan in PDF format

• Disturbed area will be less than one acre and will not trigger a SWPP.
• TxDOT coordination will be limited to Driveway permit.
• No topographic or boundary survey will be performed.
• Toole Design understands that the client has a full topographic survey. The surveyor should provide a
signed and sealed PDF of the final survey along with an AutoCAD (.DWG) file, and a surface (.TIN/.DTM).
All timelines will be contingent upon receipt and review of survey for completeness and accuracy.
• No traffic analysis or design, beyond maintenance of traffic control for construction, are included in these
services.
• No public engagement outside of stakeholder engagement in Phase 1 is included in these services but
can be performed as an additional service.
• Toole Design will make recommendations for standard pavement sections based upon best practices, the
North Texas Council of Governments Blue Book, City of Anna Design Standards and AASHTO Pavement
Design Guide. In the absence of a geotechnical evaluation, the recommended pavement design will
provide no guarantees on the service life and performance of the pavement.
• It is anticipated that the City will not need to acquire right-of-way to complete this project, and no Right-of-
Way plans will be included.
• No additional environmental permitting is required.
• No subsurface private utility mapping is included.
• All application and permitting fees will be waived or covered by the City.
• The City will prepare addenda for distribution during the bidding process.
• It is assumed that the City will manage utility coordination with support from the Project team.
• No subsurface private utility mapping is included.
• All application and permitting fees will be waived or covered by the City.
