Summary of Project Manual for Sharpstown Trail - Phase 2

This Project Manual pertains to the City of Houston's construction project for the Sharpstown Trail - Phase 2, extending from Southwest Freeway to Beechnut Street in Texas. The project encompasses the construction of a 10-foot-wide concrete trail through a CenterPoint easement, including ancillary work such as tree and shrub planting, installation of curb ramps, crosswalk and trail striping, wooden post with wire fencing, retaining walls, and traffic signals. The scope of work also requires the removal of one lane of traffic along Commerce Park Drive, implementation of roadway and trail signage, and restoration of all disturbed areas through hydro-mulch seeding. The contractor must develop and implement a Traffic Control Plan due to construction activities in proximity to existing roadways, as well as a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan with associated features. Disposal of excess material and debris remains the contractor's responsibility throughout the project duration.
