Staff explained the project replaces about 3.1 miles of aging 6‑inch water main (some of the town’s oldest distribution mains) with a larger minimum size (8‑inch as indicated in the 2017 master plan), performs targeted pavement repair for roughly 20–30% of the corridor, upsizes cross‑culverts and addresses guardrail and safety improvements. The project scope also includes localized widening near mailbox clusters and other spot improvements identified by residents to improve safety and mail delivery access.
The design timeline aims to align construction with TxDOT’s planned bridge work; staff said TxDOT’s bridge activity is targeted to finish around Sept. 30, after which the town hopes to bid and begin construction on the town’s Barnes Bridge Road segments.
Council member Eldridge moved to award the contract; the motion passed unanimously by members present.
