EDC votes to combine bid solicitations for two downtown parking lots
Summary
To reduce mobilization costs and prepare for uncertain TxDOT and floodplain outcomes, the EDC voted to combine bidding for the EDC-owned lot and a nearby city-owned Cedar Street lot and to request warranty details from bidders.
After reviewing initial bids for the EDC-owned 10th & Maple lot, the board discussed whether seeking bids for two nearby parking lots together would lower costs. Committee member (S6) proposed pausing action on the 10th & Maple project and instead packaging both lots in one solicitation.
Board members also raised FEMA/floodplain review and sidewalk grant (TA/RED) coordination as prerequisites. The motion to combine the bidding processes for both parking lots was moved, seconded and passed. Chair later summarized that the motion had passed to "combine essentially both bidding processes of both parking lots." Staff will request warranties and additional quotes and report back.
