Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on authorizing Purchasing Agent to advertise and receive sealed bids for Improvements to Inner Loop Pavement Services under IFB # 1706-168.

Williamson County is seeking qualified contractors to construct turn lanes on existing Inner Loop at Wilco Way, Rockride, and the County’s Central Maintenance Facility.  Construction activities consist of excavation, embankment, grading, flexible base, asphalt pavement, culvert extensions and pavement markings.   Estimated time of completion is 300 calendar days to substantial completion and 330 calendar days to final completion, with an estimated cost of $5,600,000.  This road-bond project will be serviced by HNTB.

The generation of the bid package is taking longer than expected due to the size of the file and will be forwarded to the Commissioners Court members and the County Clerk once available from BidSync.
