Council accepts Phelps Road drainage project and allocates additional local CDBG match
Summary
Council accepted final completion of the Phelps Road drainage improvement project, authorized final payment to the contractor, and approved allocating additional local funds to cover construction overages under the CDBG disaster relief contract.
Council accepted the Phelps Road drainage improvement project as complete and authorized final payment to East Texas Utility Construction. Staff summarized award and change orders and presented the final contract accounting: the contract award, approved change orders and final invoice totaled the final contract amount; staff recommended acceptance of maintenance and final payment.
The city also moved to allocate additional local matching funds after the construction contract and related administrative costs exceeded the originally approved project budget under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery award. Staff said the final construction contract amount and administration costs require an additional local allocation to close the project budget.
Council approved both actions: acceptance of maintenance and final payment to the contractor and the additional allocation of local funds to cover the gap in the CDBG‑DR budget; staff will complete closeout paperwork for the grant and post the appropriate notices.
