City Street Engineering Quarterly Report, February 2025
Two projects were reviewed in the [Street] Engineering Quarterly Report, included [but not presented or discussed] in the 25 February 2025 Council Meeting. [1, report in .pdf]
• 2024 Pavement Condition Assessment
• Now cruising Willow Park is the "Pavement Condition Assessment" Van. Willow Park Civics Blog [2]
• Engineer: IMS Infrastructure Management Services
• Total Project Cost: $31,320.00
• Project Description: The project consists of a new street-by-street condition survey and pavement assessment of all city streets that will provide staff with an updated and in-depth understanding of our current road infrastructure. Upon conclusion of the mobile field data collection, IMS will provide a final report with all the street segments listed with their pavement condition index (PCI). The survey data that is collected will help staff identify the most appropriate maintenance and rehab activity for each roadway pavement.
• Latest project update:
• The City Council approved a contract with IMS Infrastructure Management Services for Pavement Analysis Services on October 22, 2024.
• A kick-off meeting was held on January 6, 2025, to review project requirements, goals, and timelines.
• IMS surveyed the city’s entire street network in mid-January. They collected 67 miles of pavement condition data with a specially modified vehicle that uses lasers, cameras, and GIS measurements to record a complete overview of our street network. The data that is collected will be processed using software that quantifies the type, severity, and pavement surface distresses.
• In the coming months:
• King’s Gate Road Bridge Replacement
• Index, Transportation Development in and around Willow Park > Street Improvement Projects, Kings Gate Road Bridge, Willow Park Civics Blog [3]
• Engineer: Bartlett & West (Texas Department of Transportation’s Consultant)
• Contractor: To be determined
• Total Project Estimated Cost: $1,844,122
• Project Description: The proposed work is a partnership between the City of Willow Park and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to remove and replace the King’s Gate Road bridge over Clear Fork Trinity River. Bridge length and width is approximately 109' long and 44' wide, (2 - 12' lanes, with 2 - 8' shoulders, and 1' width for each bridge rail). The project also includes the approach roadways approximately 200’ south of the bridge to the IH 20 frontage road and 100’ north of the bridge. The approaches are to be constructed in concrete.
Latest Project Update:
• TxDOT has completed 95% of the plans and submitted them to District and Division for review.
• Project is environmentally cleared.
• Right-of-way Acquisition
• All right-of-way for this project has been acquired.
• Utility Relocations
• Texas Gas - Texas Gas utility relocations/adjustments are completed.
• Oncor - Oncor estimates 10-12 weeks for their utility relocations.
• The let date for the King’s Gate Road Bridge Replacement project is August 2025. [The let date or the letting date is the date when the bids for an advertised project are opened, in other words when you can see who won the contract.]

[2] Now cruising Willow Park is the "Pavement Condition Assessment" Van. Willow Park Civics Blog, posted 22 January, 2025
Starting this week, the "Pavement Condition Assessment" Van, aka the Pave Van, will be driving ALL roadways in Willow Park, taking half a dozen measurements about the quality of Willow Park Roads. The resulting pavement assessment will provide the City with an updated and in-depth understanding of its current road infrastructure. The City will then use this data to assist in the City’s future maintenance and resurfacing plans.
