BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Project Background
The 2012-2017 General Obligation Bond Program authorized $2,662,000.00 for funding of design and construction of the Belfast and Janda Susan Area Drainage Project. However, these funds were only sufficient for payment of the base bid which included the construction of an underground storm drain pipeline system along Belfast which requires boring under Union Pacific Railroad near U.S. Hwy 281 and tying into a TxDOT channel, street reconstruction to include curbs and sidewalks and driveway approaches along Belfast, as needed to Mavis Street.
In addition, funding from 2012-2017 General Obligation Bond Drainage Savings allows for the reallocation of $515,000.00 providing for the completion of Alternate 1 which includes continuing with the underground storm drain pipeline system on Belfast. The project also provides for street reconstruction to include curbs and sidewalks and driveway approaches, as needed, from Mavis Street to Everest.
A Public Meeting was held on February 26, 2014 to inform residents of the project's details. Project construction is anticipated to begin August 2015 and estimated to be completed by April 2016.
