sides of the street, handicap ramps and driveway approaches.
The roadway reconstruction project is located in the College Heights Addition, CDBG

These improvements will contribute to the upgrade of the areas by providing an improved
travel surface for motorists and pedestrians in the neighborhood. The existing concrete
pavement is failing and the sidewalk is not continuous through the block.
There were a total of four bidders on this project. The bids were as follows:
CONTRACTOR BASE BID

*The low bidder, Nu -Way Construction, could not provide the necessary street
reconstruction experience and as a result, the engineer, Teague -Nall and Perkins, could
not recommend awarding them the contract. The engineer recommended Tarrant County
award the project to the second lowest bidder, McClendon Construction Co., Inc.
The second lowest bidder, McClendon Construction Co., Inc., built last year's CDBG
project (700 Block of E. Texas Street) and has been identified as an acceptable choice for
this type of project.
Staff recommends approval.
