Summary
City Engineer Patricia Longoria told the board DAP-16 is moving vertical and on schedule (61% of allotted time, 37% of contract amount), irrigation pumps will be moved in February to allow TwinSpan girders installation, and the commercial vehicle parking lot is being poured in sections.
Patricia Longoria, the authority's city engineer, provided a project-status update on capital work including the DAP-16 project, the TwinSpan Bridge and the commercial vehicle parking lot.
"We're already DAP 16 project, we're already starting to move vertical on our coal storage, and they're already starting to pour our floors," Longoria said, adding that the project is at "61% of the time allotted for the project, and it's at 37% of the contract amount." She told the board there were no expected delays.
Longoria said irrigation pumps will be relocated in February to allow installation of the remaining girders on the TwinSpan Bridge and that crews are working on columns and the crossover sections. She also reported that the commercial vehicle parking lot work is progressing with third- and fourth-section concrete pours and that the schedule remains on time.
Board members asked whether the connection referenced during the update related to the Mexican side; staff clarified the connection discussed was between the old and new spans across the river, not a cross-border tie-in.
What happens next: Projects were reported on schedule and no action was required. Staff will monitor the pump relocation schedule and report on subsequent girder installation and final span connections.
