ACTION REQUEST
The Public Works Department and ARRK Engineers are seeking approval from the City Commission to enter into a contract with Mar-Con Services for the completion of the South Point Drainage Improvements Project. (CDBG DR - GLO Contract No. 22-119-003-D373 )
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
On February 4, 2025, the City of Texas City received ten (10) bids for this project, which will increase storage capacity and more rapid dispersement of storm water from City streets and adjacent properties, which will aid in lowering the risk of impassable streets and flooded homes. This project involves the construction of a 1,500 linear-foot earthen ditch that will require 25,500 cubic yards of excavation and the construction of a siphon structure that will carry the storm water run-off into the drainage canal system. The project also involves the construction of approximately 3,000 LF of storm sewer ranging from 24" Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) to 48" RCP and 7' x 4' Reinforced Concrete Boxes (RCB) to 12' x 6' RCB storm sewer, and 5,300 SY of 6" concrete paving along Barracuda Drive and Redfish Drive.
This Project is funded by the General Land Office-Community Development Block Grant Program in the amount of $3,324,788.10.
