Court authorizes bidding for Phase 2 drainage-improvement project; estimate just over $1 million
Summary
The court approved specifications to advertise bids for Phase 2 of a drainage improvement project (concrete-lined ditch work) with an estimated cost just over $1,000,000 and a bid deadline of June 23 to meet GLO contracting timelines.
County staff presented specifications and contract documents to advertise Phase 2 of a drainage improvement project that will include vegetation removal, concrete lining of a large ditch (approximately 9,009 square yards) and other associated drainage items.
The presenter said the project's estimated cost is a little over $1,000,000 and asked permission to advertise bids with a deadline of June 23 at the County Judge's office to meet GLO contract timelines. Staff and commissioners discussed coordination with the city and TxDOT and noted that timely advertisement is necessary to avoid returning funding to the grantor.
The court approved the item by voice vote. Staff later requested authority for an engineering firm to release bidding documents and addenda so the county could meet the deadline; the court authorized release and noted the need for a quick turnaround because the contractor on phase 1 is finishing and schedule coordination is important.
