Loading...
Summary
Council approved a $291,259.50 contract to Texana Land and Asphalt for Harbor Point Road reconstruction (phase 2), covering the stretch from the existing phase‑1 fence near Lakeview Elementary to Commodore; work likely scheduled after the holidays.
Gun Barrel City Council voted Nov. 18 to award the Harbor Point Road reconstruction phase‑2 contract to Texana Land and Asphalt for $291,259.50.
City staff explained the phase‑2 limits run from the fence just beyond the phase‑1 work near Lakeview Elementary down to Commodore and presented the competitive bids. Streets Superintendent Mike Howell and staff recommended Texana Land and Asphalt after background checks; Howell told council the contractor is based in Sulphur Springs and has performed work for nearby cities and TxDOT.
Councilmember (identified in the transcript as Speaker 6) moved to award the contract; Jacob seconded. A roll‑call vote recorded 'yes' votes (Edward; Henson; Jacobs; Evan; Ernst) and the motion passed. Staff said seasonal constraints at asphalt batch plants mean construction will likely begin after the new year and that the city will coordinate staging to keep traffic moving during work.
The contract award was a formal procurement decision; council did not discuss alternate funding at the meeting.
