Council approves notice of award to Ewing Construction for Kimbell Alley mini-plaza
Summary
Council approved a notice of award to Ewing Construction for the Kimbell Alley Mini Plaza URA project after staff reported the low bid of $875,000 and outlined funding sources, with a remaining shortfall of about $75,000 to be addressed by finance or the next budget.
City Engineer John presented the Kimbell Alley Mini Plaza project and explained that bids exceeded the preliminary estimate; the lowest responsible bidder was Ewing Construction at approximately $875,000. John recommended proceeding to award, noting the construction contractor is prequalified and can meet the city's schedule.
Staff said roughly $640,000 could be supported from URA funds and $173,000 from quiet-zone monies, with an identified shortfall of about $75,000 to be filled from available fiscal-year sources or addressed in the next budget. Council moved to approve the notice of award to Ewing Construction; the motion passed unanimously. The city expects work to be completed ahead of the downtown bridge opening under the contractor’s 70-day completion schedule.
