SUMMARY:
An ordinance for the construction of Tezel Road, from Culebra to Timber Path, accepting the lowest responsive bid and awarding a construction contract in the amount of $4,396,936.00, to San Antonio Constructors, Ltd., a 2012-2017 Bond-funded Project, located in Council District 6. Of this amount, $290,369.00 will be reimbursed by San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) for its work and $141,183.00 will be reimbursed by CPS Energy.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Project Background
The Project amount in the 2012-2017 General Obligation Bond Program was $7,251,000.00 and, of that, $3,965,384.00 will be used for construction. The balance of the remaining Project funds approved by voters will be used for design services, environmental services, advertising and project management, with the remainder to be realized as bond savings.
This Project provides the construction of approximately one half mile of a new five-lane roadway with five-foot bike lanes, curbs, six-foot sidewalks, driveway approaches, underground drainage improvements and a new Traffic Signal at the Camino Rosa intersection, as well as the extension of a four-foot raised median from Culebra to just north of the Camino Rosa intersection. Improvements for SAWS water, SAWS sewer and CPS gas also will be included with the Project. Tezel Road, from Culebra to Timber Path, currently is a four-lane roadway with a continuous center turn lane. Currently, Tezel Road is lacking bike lanes from Culebra to Timber Path, underground drainage from Culebra to the drainage channel, a Traffic Signal at the Camino Rosa intersection and sidewalks, to provide connectivity to existing bus stops from Culebra to the drainage channel. A Public Meeting was held on June 2014 at the Maverick Branch Library to inform the public of the Project.
