DISCUSSION:
The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) approved funding for Lebow Channel Watershed
Improvements, which included design and construction of this culvert. The Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) has implemented a project to improve State Highway 183. This project intersects
the City's Lebow Channel Roadway Crossing Project at Northeast 28th Street and Decatur Avenue. A
culvert at this intersection is inadequate to convey drainage flows and needs to be upgraded.
On June 12, 2007, Council authorized execution of a contract with Teague Nall and Perkins for Lebow
Channel Roadway Crossing Replacements at Brennan Street, 28th Street and Dewey Avenue (C-22177).
The design is complete for the Northeast 28th Street culvert.

of the project.

$791,799. A portion of the City's participation has been paid for design and environmental surveys in the
amount of $114,689, leaving a a remaining City participation due in the amount of $677,090. The
Federal/State participation in the project is $949,200 for construction, plan review, environmental review
and inspection. The City will be responsible for any cost.overruns.
