Issue: On May 11, 2026, Webb County Commissioners Court authorized the Purchasing Agent to solicit a formal invitation to bid for the subject road project. The road to be serviced is paved but requires overlay repairs. Currently, streets in San Carlos II are unleveled, filled with potholes, and contain multiple cracks in the roadway. The problems on this road are only intensified by inclement weather, including flooding events that make the street unsafe and sometimes impassable. Five (5) sealed bids were submitted, ranging from $293,000.00 to $457,175.00.
 
Solution: Consideration to approve the lowest responsible bidder, Anderson Columbia, for an amount not to exceed $293,400.00. 
 
Result: If approved, General Counsel will prepare the construction contract to include any federal contract provisions required by HUD.
