Friendswood engineering update: Black Hawk work resumes, waterline and parkway projects move forward
Summary
City engineering reported progress on Black Hawk Boulevard Phase 2B, a 24-inch Clear Creek waterline extension, a replacement ground-storage tank at Water Surface Plant No. 1, and regional projects coordinated with TxDOT and H-GAC. Council approved a tender-release agreement to allow a new contractor to finish Black Hawk work.
Friendswood Director of Engineering Hill Arias told the council Aug. 4 that crews will restart work to complete Black Hawk Boulevard Phase 2B after the city resolved outstanding insurance/contract issues and secured a replacement contractor.
Arias said the city has reached a resolution with Liberty Mutual and expects an emergency contractor to mobilize within “the next week or two,” and that the contractor estimates it can complete the scope in “8 weeks, closer to 6 weeks if he has some good weather cooperating.” The council later approved a tender‑release and substitution agreement with Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and Westbrook Contractors LLC so the replacement contractor can proceed.
