Summary
The Midland City Council unanimously approved a $1,177,016.31 contract with $235,403.26 in contingencies for Mockingbird Lane Phase I paving and drainage; councilmembers stressed developer coordination on right-of-way and infrastructure responsibilities.
The Midland City Council voted unanimously to award a $1,177,016.31 contract for the Mockingbird Lane Phase I paving and drainage project to Reese Albert Incorporated of San Angelo, Texas, and approved $235,403.26 for contingencies.
Council members who spoke during discussion emphasized the project's safety benefits and the need for clear expectations with developers. Councilman Burkholder said the work will improve traffic flow and safety for neighborhood residents, calling the project “a good addition” and urging developer cooperation on interconnections and right-of-way work. City staff noted pipeline conflicts and challenges acquiring right-of-way in the area, and said the project will open connections to existing neighborhoods.
The motion to approve the contract was made and seconded on the floor and carried by unanimous vote. Council did not request additional funding beyond the contingency amount described in the resolution; staff said the item had been deferred from the June 9 meeting for further discussion. No amendments to the contract terms were recorded during the meeting.
