Dogwood Trail Boundary Survey

Dogwood Trail Boundary Survey Tyler County, Texas DCCM determined boundaries for a privately held timber company tract of land and performed research of Texas General Land Office archives, Hardin County records, and private survey records. Fieldwork in the area determined the location of existing occupation, monumentation, topographic features, and natural features. The evidence was analyzed and compared with the recorded evidence, and, where appropriate, lines were marked with lathes that were intervisible. Plats that included trails and natural features for park use and metes and bounds were prepared for use in the land transfer. The resulting 40-acre partition was transferred to the Big Thicket Natural Heritage Trust. At a Glance 40 Acres $7,000 Survey Project Cost Markets Surveying Services Surveying

Marion County Boundary Survey

Marion County Boundary Survey Marion and Jefferson Counties, Texas DCCM determined the boundary of an original survey in Marion County and the boundary determination of numerous tracts of land surrounding and adjacent to the subject survey. Due to natural and artificial changes in the area since the 1800s, the project required extensive research outside the normal record research involved in any survey project. Research was performed in the Texas General Land Office archives, Marion County records, and private survey records. Historic research of the area was also necessary, including historical aerial photography and topographic maps. Fieldwork utilized existing occupation, monumentation, and natural features as called for when the grants were originally laid out. Evidence was analyzed and compared to records. A report and plat were prepared, setting out all boundaries, the issues affecting the area, and the topographic features. Project Manager Nedra Foster Townsend, LSLS, RPLS, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department personnel attended meetings with surrounding landowners to explain boundaries.

Neches Wildlife Management Area Tract Acquisition

Neches Wildlife Management Area Tract Acquisition Cherokee County, Texas DCCM was selected to survey the boundaries of 250 acres in Cherokee County, which included several miles of Neches River gradient boundary, a river cut-off area, highway frontage, oil and gas operations, utility easements, and a railroad transecting the tracts. DCCM requested the right of entry, the setting of control, the location of existing monumentation, and the setting of new monumentation where needed, preparation of plats, and legal descriptions for transactions. Services DCCM conducted deed research to ascertain current record ownership and parent tracts, as well as easements, utilities, and oil and gas records. Records from TxDOT and the Missouri Pacific Railroad were acquired. Research on original grants was conducted using GLO archival records. Historic aerial photographs and topographic maps were used to determine the nature of changes in the river course. We set benchmarks that other entities can access and rely on for GPS-based transactions. The gradient boundary was surveyed on the Neches River in accordance with Oklahoma v. Texas, 260 US 606 (1923). A cut-off of the river (also a county line) had occurred, so this required ascertaining whether the state maintained a claim to the cut-off and to the river’s flow. All corners, lines, and improvements were included in this survey. Plat and metes-and-bounds were prepared for the three tracts comprising 250 acres.

SH 249 (Tomball Tollway), Phases I and II

SH 249 (Tomball Tollway), Phases I and II Tomball and Montgomery County, Texas DCCM was contracted by the Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) as the Program Management Consultant (PMC) for the design and management of both preliminary and final project designs, as well as construction management and inspection services for Phase II. We developed a project feasibility assessment, which resulted in the SH 249 (Tomball Tollway), Phases I and II engineering feasibility report, and served as the basis for the final design. On its first day of operation, eager toll users doubled the projected 17,000 daily toll transactions, cutting traffic on the existing frontage road in half. Funded entirely with toll road revenue paid by drivers who choose to use the Harris County toll road system, the final construction will extend the toll road into Montgomery and Grimes Counties to SH 105, streamlining trips to and from rapidly growing Grimes County and College Station. Phase I: Spring Cypress Road to FM 2920 This project provided travelers with four main lanes in each direction and was constructed between the existing TxDOT northbound and southbound non-tolled frontage roads. As PMC for HCTRA, DCCM completed an aggressive 9-month design program to deliver plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for HCTRA to bid and construct this phase. DCCM provided leadership, schedule adherence, quality assurance, and oversight to 17 consultants, completing the PS&E for four new toll lanes in each direction along a 6-mile stretch of SH 249, adding five new bridges, retaining walls, and a drainage system that mitigates flooding. Drivers may now bypass seven stoplights while the frontage roads remain toll-free. All milestone submittals were met on time, and the project was constructed in only 16 months and under three construction contracts. Phase I was open to traffic in April 2015 and is exceeding all revenue forecasts. Phase II: FM 2920 to Spring Creek (Harris/Montgomery County line) Design preparations for Phase II began in October 2014 with design revisions to the TxDOT 2006 SH 249 Schematic. As in Phase I, DCCM was the PMC for the design of four-lane toll lanes in each direction, adding three-lane frontage roads on both north- and southbound approaches, five major bridges, flood-mitigating storm sewer detention, a collegiate practice field, and equestrian and bike trails. Services also included computing cut-and-fill quantities for roadway sections, concrete and reinforcement steel quantities for bridge deck pours, and payments for such pours on the contractor’s pay estimate. DCCM monitored the roadway excavation, subgrade preparation, concrete milling, embankment placement for abutments, installation of drill shaft and foundations, concrete beam placement, asphalt pavement placement, bent footings, column, cap pours, reinforced earth walls, 18- to 36-inch reinforced concrete pipes, and various concrete box culverts. Our team oversaw construction management and inspection services for this segment of the project. Phases I and II of the SH 249 (Tomball Tollway) project included environmental investigations and permitting, survey/ROW mapping, utility identification and assessment, subsurface utility engineering (SUE), and hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) modeling and detention pond design. DCCM also provided construction phase services for Phase II and the direct connectors at SH 99 (Grand Parkway). Mainlanes, Phase I, Section 1 – Montgomery County MCTRA selected DCCM to prepare PS&E for mainlane and ramp construction for a 0.4-mile section of tollway north of Tomball, Texas. The project scope included roadway geometric design, traffic control plans, removal plans, drainage plans with both open and closed systems, SWPPP, cross-sections, general notes, specifications, and construction cost estimates. The DCCM team coordinated with both adjacent designers on the Montgomery County segment and with the design and construction teams of the Harris County segment to the south to deliver a synchronized product that minimized impacts to travelers and adjacent property owners and reduced overall project costs.

PK Avenue Stormwater & Roadway Improvements

PK Avenue Stormwater & Roadway Improvements Auburndale, FL DCCM provided watershed planning, conceptual design, feasibility analysis, surveying, and cooperative funding support to develop a concept improvement plan for 3,500 linear feet of PK Avenue. As the gateway to downtown Auburndale, the City sought improvements that would not only resolve chronic roadway flooding and enhance stormwater quality for the 261-acre urban drainage basin but also improve neighborhood aesthetics and add a pedestrian trail for recreation. The recommended concept redeveloped PK Avenue from four lanes to two and incorporated low-impact development techniques, including bio-retention swales, on-street pervious parking with subsurface storage, and a one-acre retention pond. Our team also assisted the City in securing $1.3M in cooperative funding from the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).
