Consider executing a Professional Consulting Services Agreement with Architexas for
an architectural feasibility study related to the relocation of the Stagecoach Inn.
This agreement will provide preservation planning services and a feasibility study for
the proposed relocation of the Stagecoach Inn. In order to save the Stagecoach Inn
structure, relocation is necessary as a result of the RM 620 road realignment project.
The ultimate goal of the study is to provide a cost estimate for stabilization, site prep,
move and restoration organized into appropriate phases. The study will examine
relocation to two potential sites, the Bathing Beach and an alternative location on its
existing site at 901 Round Rock Avenue.
Staff recommends approval.
