We were responsible for renovating the former Tokyo Electron site into Austin Energy's new operation control center. Improvements included a 36,000 SF building expansion, a new 11,000 SF vehicle service building, new service drives, an additional 150 vehicle parking lot, and restoration to existing parking areas.
We provided all site/civil engineering design, permitting, and construction administration services. In addition, we successfully coordinated with the City's development review staff in order to retrofit the existing site to meet the Subchapter E Commercial Design Standards and worked with the project team through programming options. We also completed construction documents for all site/civil improvements such as ADA accessible sidewalks, parking and service drives, site grading, storm drains, water, wastewater, and the retrofit and expansion of an existing sand filter pond into a biofiltration water quality pond.
The project included several pavement designs, restoration, and construction strategies to provide value and function to Austin Energy. We designed and implemented new concrete pavement for Austin Energy service vehicle areas, medium and light duty asphaltic pavement design sections for drive and new parking areas, mill and overly restoration on major existing parking and drives. To finish it off, we restriped all pavement that was in good condition for preventative maintenance and to give it a polished look.
This county project, which was completed under a Design-Build delivery method led by Broaddus & Associates and GSC Architects, consisted of two phases. The first phase was a temporary facility to house the Hays County Precinct 2 Offices during the completion of the permanent facility structure. Both facilities are located on the same parcel of land, approximately 3.5 acres, along FM 2770. Doucet provided site layout design, access driveways and pavement design, extension of both water and wastewater because utilities were not available onsite, dry utilities relocation and service extensions to the new facility, and design of the detention facilities. Doucet also coordinated with Hays County ISD and a local Homeowners Association for easements.
Doucet has an extensive, reputable history of providing peer review services and construction observation services for municipalities and private sector clients throughout New England. For example, we have been assisting the Town of Hadley, Massachusetts Planning Board in this capacity for several years. Our extensive expertise with development of various scales is called upon for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating similar commercial and residential development proposals. Additional municipalities and businesses that have benefitted from our peer review and/or construction observation services include but are not limited to the Towns of Granby and Whately, MA, Country Nissan, Yankee Candle, and Gator Pearson. Our peer reviews have included zoning analyses, site plan review, and stormwater evaluation and design for a broad range of land uses. The final product is typically a detailed report which verifies compliance with applicable regulations and identifies any project constraints. The report may be used by the client as a guide through the remainder of the permitting process.
This $48 Million county project consisted of adding a new two-story building to the existing and functioning Travis County Correction Facility along with demolition of existing facilities and the relocation of infrastructure and utilities. The new building was approximately 260,000 SF and housed 1,336 inmates. Doucet provided site layout design, access driveways and pavement design, water, wastewater and dry utilities relocation and service extensions to the new facility. Doucet also provided a topographic design survey for improvements, the location of above and underground utilities, and the establishment of the site boundary. Doucet also coordinated with Austin Energy for an onsite Electric Easement, and prepared the easement dedications.
