Establishing “Livable Centers” is one of the implementation strategies of H-GAC’s 2040 Regional Transportation Plan. The aim of this strategy is to create more walkable, mixed-use places that are easier to serve via transit. A total of twenty-six have been completed in our region.

The next Livable Centers study ready to begin is for the City of Fulshear. The study will examine feasibility and opportunities for creating public/private partnerships to implement Livable Centers concepts, as well as identify specific transportation investments for the area. A committee of representatives from H-GAC and City of Fulshear evaluated four proposals submitted by firms on August 23, 2017. Based on the committee’s scoring and evaluation of the proposals and interviews, the  recommendation and ranking are shown below:

1.      Freese and Nichols

Request authorization to contract with firms in order ranked to conduct Livable Centers Study for City of Fulshear; amount not to exceed $ 185,685.89. (Staff Contact: Jeff Taebel)
