Manvel to contribute estimated $86,000 toward TxDOT Iowa Lane bridge replacement project
Summary
Council approved a resolution to commit an estimated $86,000 (from local capital funds) toward an off‑system bridge replacement on Iowa Lane; TxDOT, federal funds and GCWA will cover the remainder of the roughly $1 million project.
Manvel — The City Council approved a resolution committing an estimated local contribution toward a TxDOT off‑system bridge replacement project on Iowa Lane over the GCWA Canal.
Staff said the overall bridge project is about $1 million; TxDOT and federal partners will fund a large share (staff cited about $400,000 from TxDOT and roughly $430,000 federal), with GCWA contributing about $40,000 and the city's additional scope estimated at $86,000. Staff proposed using local CO (capital) funds allocated for streets and drainage to cover the city's portion.
Council asked about the timeline and whether a budget amendment would be required; staff said the funds were already properly allocated within the CO funds and that the project is expected to proceed in 2025 once bids are received. Council approved the resolution to commit the estimated local share.
