Design deliverables are structured in four milestones: 30% design criteria, 60% preliminary plans, 90% near-final plans, and 100% final PS&E package.

Pricing, fees, and contract duration will be negotiated with the selected firm based on fair and reasonable rates; the City will not provide compensation or defray proposal development costs. Firms must provide verifiable examples of at least three similar projects completed within the previous five years.

Selection criteria are weighted as follows: Project Manager experience with similar projects (25%), team member experience (25%), ability to meet deadlines (20%), firm experience with public engagement (15%), project understanding and approach (10%), and TxDOT experience (5%).
