Ingleside council authorizes engineering and bidding for Humble Youth Center parking lot
Summary
Council approved contracting for engineering design and advertising bids to pave the Humble Community and Youth Center parking area; staff estimated design and geotechnical work at about $20,000 and will return with bid documents.
Council authorized staff to contract with an engineering firm to design and advertise bids to pave the grass-parking area at the Humble Community and Youth Center.
Staff said the engineering proposal included a lump-sum design fee of about $10,500 plus additional items—topographic survey, geotechnical testing and on-site observation—estimated at roughly $8,700, putting preliminary design costs near $20,000. Council and staff discussed drainage provisions (culverts), a one-in/one-out entrance configuration, and minimum lighting standards to ensure safety.
A resident, Courtney Shane, told the council she supported the project and asked that a designated campaigning area be preserved during elections. Council approved moving forward with engineering and advertising for bids, with legal review of contract language prior to execution.
Next steps: Staff will finalize engineering contract language, proceed with design work and advertise for construction bids; council will see bid results and a recommended award in a future meeting.
