Rockwall County approves $1.385 million engineering contract for Edwards Road improvements
Summary
The court approved an agreement with Kimley-Horn for engineering and environmental services on Edwards Road, funding the work with road bond proceeds totaling $1,385,000.
Commissioner Lichty moved that the county enter into an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to provide engineering and environmental services on the Edwards Road improvement project at a total cost of $1,385,000 to be paid from road bond funds.
Lichty told the court the procurement and rebid lowered the cost by roughly $1 million compared with an earlier proposal and that Kimley-Horn will assist with contract management and bidding. County staff described the anticipated scope: two segments of Edwards Road, right-of-way and design issues, and coordination where the roadway crosses multiple municipal boundaries.
Commissioners discussed funding breakdowns and the importance of proceeding to secure an alternate route ahead of State Highway 205 construction next June. The motion passed 5-0.
