Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to allow the Interim Purchasing Agent to solicit Request for Proposals (RFPs) for the Construction and Rehabilitation of the existing Espejo-Gates Road (Highway 83 Frontage Rd. to 5.4 Miles East) under the County Transportation Infrastructure Fund (CTIF) consisting of roadway reconstruction, grading, lime treatment, subgrade, base, Asphalt concrete pavement drainage structures and pavement markings; as per specifications adopted by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Issue: Roadway and bridge need to be reconstructed due to deterioration from the high use of oil traffic.

Solution: Approve bid process so that we can get a bidder to reconstruct the road and maintain the safety of the traveling public.

Result: Roadway will be improved.

Background:

On March 29, 2016, Commissioner Court approved Work Authorization No. 1 (Bridge #1), No. 2 (Bridge #2), and No. 3 (Roadway) to extend the duration of the project due to unforeseen delays in the projects. Specifically, difficulties with obtaining access to the surrounding private property which made it difficult to complete necessary surveying activities. Extending the initial duration of the Work Authorizations, provided adequate time for the completion of services to include: Final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates; Construction Bidding; Construction Management and Support; and Project Administration.
