County engineer updates commissioners on bond projects and upcoming road bids
Summary
Staff presented the May bond-program update: planned advertisements for South Kelly Road, Midway Road and Oak Ridge, preconstruction and mobilization timelines, coordination with TxDOT on FM and I‑20 projects, and a planned public Power BI dashboard for bond financials.
County staff presented the monthly bond-program report to commissioners, outlining right-of-way work, design progress, and near-term bid advertisements across precincts.
Highlights included plans to advertise South Kelly Road, Midway Road and Oak Ridge in close succession to allow contractors to bid multiple concrete jobs; preconstruction activity on WN Woody with an anticipated June 1 mobilization; coordination with TxDOT on FM 51 and an I‑20 schematic/environmental scope; and preparation of a Power BI dashboard to publish bond schedules and financials online. Staff also noted a traffic-signal warrant study submitted to TxDOT for 377 at Kelly Road and a planned traffic-study amendment for the 07/30 project.
Commissioners asked about project schedules and right-of-way negotiations; staff said some lettings are planned for summer and that construction start dates will be shared as bid awards are finalized.
