Council awards design contract for Brookside Avenue improvements to Albert A. Webb Associates
Summary
Council approved a professional services agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates to design reconstruction of Brookside Avenue (Cherry Avenue to Orchard Heights), including a new drainage channel and turn pockets; design contract not to exceed $596,400 with contingency bringing total to $656,040.
Beaumont — The Council voted May 5 to award a professional design services agreement to Albert A. Webb Associates for the Brookside Avenue street reconstruction project (Cherry Avenue to Orchard Heights).
Staff said the project will convert an existing inverted crown roadway to a tilted section to route stormwater into a proposed channel, add a left‑turn pocket eastbound onto Orchard Heights and a right‑turn pocket from northbound Cherry Avenue to eastbound Brookside, and include a flood control master drainage facility along the corridor. Ten proposals were submitted for design; Webb received the highest average score from the review panel and was recommended for award.
The council approved a not‑to‑exceed design contract of $596,400 and authorized a contingency of $59,640, for a total authorization of $656,040. Staff noted a former city employee is on Webb’s proposed team in an oversight and quality assurance role; the panel did not give that role special consideration during scoring.
What happens next: staff will coordinate permitting, finalize the design scope and pursue construction when funding and county coordination for the adjacent county segment are in place. The contract period runs from May 5, 2026, through May 5, 2031 per the adopted motion.
