Uvalde County awards Kanipa waterline contract to Albany Stock Contractors for $518,918.10
Summary
The court awarded a CDBG-funded Kanipa waterline contract to Albany Stock Contractors LLC (Eagle Pass) for a base bid of $518,918.10; county staff said the award fits within the grant budget of $549,531, leaving $30,612.90 for additional work, and recommended excluding a $166,756.08 Washington Street alternate.
Uvalde County Commissioners Court approved awarding the Kanipa waterline improvement project to Albany Stock Contractors LLC of Eagle Pass for a base bid of $518,918.10, staff recommended.
County staff reported the project was advertised locally and on procurement sites and that the county received a single base bid. The project is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) item (Colonial Fund Construction 23-0222). Staff said the county—s grant budget for the project is $549,531, leaving $30,612.90 available after the base award.
An additive alternate for part of Washington Street totaling $166,756.08 was described during the presentation; staff recommended the county not include that additive alternate because the water lines in that segment require less work than other sections. Staff also noted positive past performance by the recommended contractor, saying, "His work has always been more than satisfactory, and he's no stranger to Uvalde County."
A motion to approve the award was made and seconded; the court approved the award by voice vote. The transcript contains two slightly different renderings of the contractor name (the base bid is reported as from "Albany Stock Contractors LLC of Eagle Pass" in the award recommendation, while a later phrase in the presentation refers to "Alvin Estock Contractors"). The record does not resolve whether those names refer to the same legal entity; the award recommendation and the documented bid amount in the record are for Albany Stock Contractors LLC, $518,918.10.
What—s next: With the award approved, staff did not provide a detailed construction schedule in the meeting. The county noted remaining grant funds could be used for additional water lines but did not commit those funds at the meeting.
