Roadway R.O.W. Width-Feet Width Feet 40 60 Origin of Project This project was originally approved by M&C G-5725 on August 23, 1983, with limits from Pecan Street eastward to I-35W. Plans and specifications were prepared, the project was advertised for bid, and on September 11, 1984 (M&C C-8586), a construction contract was awarded and the benefit hearing was set for October 9, 1984. At the benefit hearing, the City Council deleted the segment of the project from the railroad eastward to I-35W due to objections voiced by the adjacent property owners. As a result of the reduced scope of the project, the contractor declined to accept the contract which was approved by M&C C-8727 on November 20, 1984. The staff was instructed to readvertise the project in its current limits. Improvements East Ninth Street in this area is an existing brick surface on a concrete base street with scattered curb and gutter and an adequate storm drain system. The existing street is 36 to 40 feet wide. All of the adjacent property is zoned "J" light industrial. It was proposed to improve the street by constructing new curb and gutter and driveway approaches where required, repairing the base as needed and overlaying the existing brick surface with a 3-inch hot-mix asphaltic concrete surface on a 40 foot wide roadway. During the design of the project it was determined that the concrete base has deteriorated beyond repair. Consequently, it is proposed to completely reconstruct the street with new 7" concrete pavement with attached concrete curb and concrete driveway approaches where required. Receipt of Bids This project was advertised for bids on November 8 and 15, 1984, and the following bids were received on November 29, 1984, with 35 working days allotted to complete the project.
