BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Citywide Intersections Project was approved by voters in Proposition A of the 2023 Bond Program. On June 12, 2023, City Council approved a contract with Pape Dawson Engineers, Inc. for the final design of intersection improvements, including new traffic signals, turn lanes, and other intersection safety and operational improvements. The planned improvements include six intersections across the city, including:
• SH 46 and Hueco Springs Loop
• SH 46 and Mission Valley Road
• SH 46 and FM 1863/Alyssa Way
• SH 46 and Independence Drive
• Loop 337 and Borchers Boulevard
• Walnut Avenue and Gardenia Drive
The city issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) for these improvements on August 15, 2024, and on September 24, 2024, the city received one bid for the Citywide Intersection Improvements. E-Z Bel Construction, LLC was the sole bidder at $2,809,166.77. After evaluating E-Z Bel’s qualifications and bid, E-Z Bel was determined to be a qualified contractor for the project. Staff recommends an owner contingency of 10% for a total construction cost of $3,090,000.
