Fairview approves facilities agreement and awards Fairview Parkway construction contract to Indus Road & Bridge

The Fairview Town Council approved several actions to advance construction of Fairview Parkway, including a facilities agreement with Billingsley, authorization of additional engineering services, and a construction contract award to the low bidder.

Public works staff (James) told the council the project funding mixes Collin County (70% of the base bid), a local share split with Billingsley paying part of the town’s local share, and the town using remaining ARPA funds to cover its portion. James said Billingsley agreed to pay certain engineering costs for alternates and that leftover county money could be used to extend four lanes farther south on the corridor.

On bids, staff reported multiple bidders and recommended awarding the work to Indus Road & Bridge, which submitted the low bid. The transcript records a base bid figure of $9,957,427.38 and later discussion referencing an amount around $10,384,000; council moved and approved awarding the contract on a voice vote.

Council also approved a lump‑sum agreement for additional engineering services with Kimley‑Horn to complete design work for alternates and future four‑lane sections. Council members debated the timing and scope of adding four‑lane design vs. two‑lane design and discussed whether design‑build or negotiated changes were feasible after bidding.

Councilmember (Speaker 3) moved to award the roadway contract to Indus Road & Bridge; the motion was seconded and carried. Councilmember (Speaker 10) moved and council approved the Kimley‑Horn engineering agreement.

Next steps for the project include finalizing contracts, executing the facilities agreement, and moving into the construction phase after contractor mobilization and required permits.
