Public Works staff told the Audit Committee that the city will post a solicitation for construction services for the Heis Bridge and adjacent east‑area streets, to be funded by the 2022 bond for Districts 1 and 2 with an estimated value of $12,200,000.

Raci Josini, identified in the transcript as Director of Public Works, said the project will be a new contract financed from the 2022 bond. The solicitation was described as opening in April, with proposals due May 27 and an expected contract award in August; a council approval step was described as anticipated in September 2025.

The presentation described selection criteria that include experience, staff qualifications and key subcontractors (listed as 20 points), previous work in the San Antonio region (listed as 10 points) and an MWE‑related component described in the presentation as totaling 30 points. The presenter said questions and responses have been posted online and that a formal Q&A will be held April 23.

The presenter also noted participation from other committees may be possible (the transcript mentions the parks and recreation and development committees). An attendee in the briefing referenced a pool of potential applicants, but the transcript contains confusion about the number: the presenter first said “15,000 personas o solicitantes” and then corrected to “1572”; the exact expected number of proposers was not specified in the record.

No formal committee vote was recorded on the solicitation during this meeting; the item was informational. Staff stated schedule milestones and scoring criteria but did not provide additional contract documents or bid specifications in the committee briefing.

Votes at a glance: no vote or final award was taken by the Audit Committee on this agenda item; action items remain at staff or council levels.
