Council approves $42 million Bear Creek Road widening project management contract
Summary
The council approved resolution R‑17‑26 to award a professional services agreement with Priority Group Inc. to provide project and construction management for the East Bear Creek Road widening; the project scope follows TxDOT funding and shifts certain responsibilities to the city.
Andrew Waits, director of public works, outlined the Bear Creek Road widening project, its TxDOT‑backed funding history and the local responsibilities the city will assume (utility relocation and right‑of‑way acquisition). Waits said the overall project is valued at $42,000,000 and presented the recommended professional services agreement with Priority Group to manage construction oversight.
Council members asked clarifying questions about funding, reimbursement and scope; Waits explained which items are reimbursable by TxDOT and which will be city obligations. Council moved, seconded and approved resolution R‑17‑26 to engage Priority Group for project and construction management services, with a recorded roll‑call vote of 6–0.
