MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYORAND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 2010
SUBJECT: KIMBALL ROAD WIDENING APPROVAL OF CONTRACT
AWARD BY SOUTHLAKE
RECOMMENDATION
City Council consider approving the City of Southlake's award of the construction contract
for the Kimball Road widening project to Ed Bell Construction Company, and take any
necessary action.
FUNDING:
The City will issue Certificates of Obligation later in FY 11 to fund our share of the costs
and enact a reimbursement ordinance for short term expenses. This will allow us flexibility
in choosing the issuance time and associated interest rates.
BACKGROUND:
City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Southlake on November 18,
2008 in which the City of Grapevine committed to participate in the funding for the design
and construction of the Kimball Road widening project from State Highway 114 to Dove
Road.
Grapevine's portion of the project is comprised of the east half of the roadway from Shady
Lane to Dove Road, a distance of approximately 2,000 feet.
The improved roadway will be a four lane divided section with center landscaped median
and will be constructed in two phases. The first phase will extend from SH 114 north to
Kirkwood Blvd. The second phase will extend from Kirkwood Blvd. to Dove Road and is
anticipated to begin in the May to July, 2011 timeframe. Grapevine's portion of the
roadway project is in Phase 2.
Each city will be responsible for the maintenance of the roadway system within their
respective cities with Southlake providing maintenance of the median landscaping.
The initial estimate for Grapevine's cost in the interlocal agreement was$ 2,000,000. The
bids were very good with the low bid submitted by Ed Bell Construction Company in an
amount of$6,892,561.81.
