If you will recall, bids were opened back on June the 9th for the TXDOT improvements along FM 973, constructing a continuous left turn lane and revised shoulders from Blake Manor heading south to just past LaPoynor Street. The low bidder was Aaron Concrete, with the winning bid at $212,485.12 coming in 30% under the engineer’s opinion of estimated costs to construct.
TXDOT has since officially awarded the project to Aaron Concrete and as of yesterday TXDOT and Aaron Concrete met on site for the preconstruction meeting and issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Per our office's coordination with TXDOT we understand that construction will commence on September the 1st.
Dwyer Realty Companies, through its partnership entity WildHorse Creekside Development Corporation, is funding the full construction costs of the referenced FM 973 turn lane and shoulder improvements on behalf of the City of Manor in their contract with TXDOT. WildHorse Creek is only responsible for just about 50% of the total costs to construct, based upon its ultimate traffic generation requirements. WildHorse Creek, via Dwyer Realty, agreed to partner with the City of Manor and advance funds for the related construction, with credits/cost allocations applied to future developments planned along FM 973.
