City crews have a running list of 90 places in The Colony where sidewalks, alleys and streets need concrete work, and the City Council is set to vote tonight on $110,000 to buy the material to keep going.
The purchase, from H & H Concrete on Demand, is on the consent agenda for the council's 6:30 p.m. meeting at City Hall, 6053 Main St. It covers concrete, flow-fill and site-mixed material for sidewalk, alley, street, curb and gutter repairs. Consent items are usually approved together in one vote unless a council member pulls one for discussion.
Done by city crews
Public works staff wrote in an Oct. 7 memo that the repairs will be done by the city's own Streets and Drainage crews, responding to resident requests and work orders, rather than by an outside contractor.
The city would buy the concrete through an existing Fort Worth contract with the same supplier, piggybacking on a supply contract Fort Worth competitively procured. Fort Worth's agreement with the vendor caps that city's own annual spending at $1.1 million and runs one year with up to four renewals.
