Hulen Street from the .East-West Freeway. to Caipp Bowie Boulevard is recommended
to ke a major thoroughfare in the Dallas-Fort'Vorth Regional Transportation
S ;&. Two pavement types were designed to sustain the loads transmitted

2) 7-inch Hot-Mix Asphaltic Concrete Pavement on 8 inches of Lime
Stabilized Subgrade.

Pavement Evaluation and Economic Analysis
r
Bids were requested on the alternate pavement designs. The apparent low bidder
submitted the following bid on the paving portion of the contract.
Alternates Total Cost
7-inch Reinforced Concrete Pavement $55,566.00
7-inch Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete on 8-inch Lime
Stabilized Subgrade 484054,20
Difference in Cost $ 7,511.80
The other three bidders did not submit bids on the concrete pavement design.
Tests conducted by the American Association of State Highway Officials .from
1958 to 1961 demonstrated that under the same design, loading and environ-
mental conditions, reinforced concrete pavement sections generally had a
longer service life than comparable sections of hot-mix asphaltic concrete.
Maintenance costs are also generally lower for the concrete streets since
periodic seal coating is not required. In addition, concrete streets have
a higher skid resistence and light reflectivity.
Recommendation on Pavement Design
Either of the alternate paving designs proposed for Hulen Street from the
East-West Freeway to Camp Bowie Boulevard would sustain the loads transmitted
to it by the projected traffic volumes. Based on the anticipated total cost,
including expected life and required maintenance, it is believed that the
concrete pavement represents the best buy for the City and it is recommended
the concrete alternate be accepted, since the use of concrete pavement
represents an increase of less than 10 per cent of the total project cost.
Project Cost and Financing
Based on the low net bid, approximately $21,687.94 will be assessed against
abutting property owners. The cost to the City-at-large will be approximately
$74,500, including engineering expenses.
A Bond Fund Transfer from Unspecified Funds is proposed to provide for the
City's portion of the cost of the project,
