Harris Street contractor terminated; staff outlines new schedule and other project updates
Summary
Staff reported DG Medina’s termination, completion of outstanding Harris Street items by Sedros Paving, a planned re-bid with an April award and a projected November–December completion; staff also updated the board on downtown drainage (4th Street) and a gateway-sign bidding timeline.
Staff provided project updates and revised timelines at the Fulshear EDC meeting on Feb. 9.
Matthew (speaker 7), a city staff member, said the DG Medina contract for Harris Street was terminated for convenience Dec. 5; DG Medina mobilized out by Jan. 10 and Sedros Paving completed deficiencies including a concrete apron, resealing of expansion joints and installation of a storm inlet for phase 1. Staff said they will finalize revised plans by the 13th, resolicit by month’s end, hope to award a new construction contract by April and anticipate issuing a notice to proceed in May with an estimated completion in November or December of 2026.
Matthew also reported that the downtown East Side drainage (4th Street) project is expected to issue a notice to proceed by the end of the month; the contractor has ordered storm-sewer boxes and other materials, and work is dependent on on-site material delivery.
Director (speaker 2) said staff is moving the gateway sign project toward the bidding process pending resolution of questions with consultant KGA DeForest. Staff also noted upcoming attendance at the ICSE conference and that one staff member’s absence explained his nonattendance at the meeting.
Board members asked about final payments to DG Medina and whether any final payout had been submitted; staff said a final payout was submitted and is under review and that the city is likely to reject the amount based on its evaluation. Staff said negotiations on the final payment would focus on landscaping and closure items.
No formal action was taken on the projects at the meeting; staff agreed to return with contract documents, payout calculations and timelines for the EDC’s review.
