BACKGROUND
The City of Dallas has identified various properties experiencing severe erosion which have been included in the 2024 Bond Program. Engineering services are needed to evaluate options and develop construction documents to stabilize eroded stream banks utilizing gabion walls or other approved erosion control measures.

Erosion control improvements will be evaluated and designed for 637 Coombs Creek Drive, 635 North Hampton Road, 2909 West Jefferson Blvd., and 3303 Sheldon Ave. The services provided for this project include project management, topographic and boundary surveys, subsurface utility exploration, geotechnical investigations, permitting assistance, structural analysis, development of conceptual and preliminary construction plans, and development of pre-final and final construction plans and special specifications.
