Board approves civil-engineer contract and OC Drive extension bid to ease traffic
Summary
Trustees approved hiring Johnson Volk Consulting for civil engineering work ($303,500) and accepted a contractor bid of $2,799,722 for the OC Drive extension to Valley View to relieve traffic, with district staff noting funding from construction funds and plans to replenish those funds via future bond/parameters.
The Forney ISD Board voted to approve two construction-related items presented by Jeff Fisher of Gallagher Construction: selection of Johnson Volk Consulting as civil engineer for three projects with a total fee structure of $303,500, and acceptance of bids for the OC Drive extension project, recommended at $2,799,722, to extend the OC drive to Valley View and improve traffic flow during large events.
Jeff Fisher described bid participation and recommended awarding the OC Drive extension contract after receiving multiple competitive bids. Superintendent Terry and board members discussed funding the project from construction funds now, with plans to replace those funds through a future parameter sale in August; the board approved the recommendation by voice vote.
Kim Horzak also reported progress at the FLA site and described early-phase site work for Elementary 12 on a donated Los Lomas site; trustees were shown preliminary site plans and told the project is on schedule.
No additional alternatives or protests to the bids were raised during the public meeting, and the board approved the items as presented.
