COUNCIL DISTRICTS IMPACTED: 3
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City has three projects anticipated for future construction. These include two projects for watershed improvements and an intersection improvement project.
The city receives funding through the Edwards Aquifer Authority for projects that meet the objectives of the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan. As part of that plan, City Staff has identified two projects to move forward. The Golf Course Road Parking area and Biofiltration system has recently completed design and permitting, and the Landa Park Recreation Parking Lot is in design initiation.
Additionally, intersection improvements have been designed to provide improved alignment of the Gruene Road and Post Road intersection. Construction of this project will be funded through Roadway Impact Fees.
Staff recommends issuing an invitation for a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) as the procurement method for the contract to construct each of these projects. The CSP method allows the City to evaluate the most qualified contractors and get the best value for the project.
The recommendation to award these contracts will be presented to the City Council for direction in the near future.
ISSUE:
Continue an ongoing program of infrastructure construction and maintenance.
