CANYON BROOK/VALLEY PAVEMENT & UTILITIES in Richardson, TX

The City of Richardson completed the Canyon Brook/Valley Pavement & Utilities project, a renovation and alteration effort spanning multiple locations in Richardson, Texas. This public works project focused on infrastructure improvements, including the replacement of sidewalks, accessible ramps, street paving, and upgrades to water, sewer, and drainage systems. The work involved 2,300 sq ft of new sidewalk and the installation of 66 barrier-free ramps to enhance pedestrian accessibility across the designated areas.

Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in October 2024, the project was scheduled to begin construction in November 2024. The estimated cost for these improvements was $185,400, which equates to $81 per square foot. This figure is close to the county median of $78 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings in Collin County. While the total cost is below the county median of $220,254, the scheduled build window of 289 days was longer than the median of 92 days observed in the region.

Binkley & Barfield INC served as the design firm of record for this initiative. The registered accessibility specialist for the project was Brandon Mark Quimbey. The City of Richardson, as the owner of record, has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $57,731,000. These include significant developments such as Richardson Fire Station #3 and the University Trail Phase 2, both of which are marked as project closed in their respective records.

The project utilized public funds and involved public land, consistent with its status as a Federally funded roadway project component. TDLR closed the project file in August 2025, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This closure indicates that the administrative and inspection requirements associated with the Texas Accessibility Board registration have been satisfied for this specific scope of work.
