Council awards Edgemont sidewalk and intersection contracts, adds condition requiring developer reimbursement
Summary
Council approved two construction contracts: $529,239.90 to WJC Constructors for Ed Schmidt sidewalks (project 1) and $305,004.70 to Jordan Enterprise LP for the Edgemont & Limerick Loop intersection (project 2); council added an amendment requiring Baylor Scott & White to fund its sidewalk segment or reimburse the city.
Council approved contracts for two Edgemont corridor projects and added a condition regarding one private site's sidewalk obligation.
Staff recommended awarding the Ed Schmidt sidewalks project (Project 1) to WJC Constructors for $529,239.90. During discussion councilors questioned whether portions of sidewalk work that directly front new development should be built by the developer rather than paid for by city funds. One council member proposed an amendment to require Baylor Scott & White to cover the cost of the sidewalk segment on its site either by constructing it directly or reimbursing the city; that amendment was accepted and incorporated into the contract authorization. The amended motion passed on roll call.
On a related item council awarded the Edgemont and Limerick Loop intersection improvements (Project 2) to Jordan Enterprise LP for $305,004.70 and authorized the city manager to execute the contract. Council discussion focused on contractor schedule performance and the desire to hold contractors to completion timelines. Both awards were approved by roll call with no recorded no votes.
