While the outside audit and water rates dominated the last Bowie City Council meeting, bids were accepted on two capital projects along with plans to finalize the creation of a city food truck park at Pelham Park.
Bids were accepted on the next phase of the sewer line replacement project. There were nine bids with Tri-State Sitework, LLC the recommended base bid at $1,558,103.30.
Public Works Director Stony Lowrance listed the areas where problem lines will be replaced: Pecan and FM 1816, Roberts, Coffield, Hutchinson, Riley, Strong, Hudspeth, Rainey Road, Lamb, Mayor and East Wilbarger. A lift station will be removed on Rainey Road.
He said this phase has lots of twists and turns going all across the city, so there will be traffic closures. He pointed specifically to Pecan and FM 1816 where a state right-of-way is involved.
This bidder will start in September, which raised some questions with the council.
The city staff also has created a new ordinance that establishes a food truck park area at Pelham Park where all those permitted trucks can set up, instead of being at various spots across the city.
