Heritage Ranch Trail stops at Parker Elementary School today. A contract on Monday's City Council agenda would carry it the rest of the way to FM 1417.
The council is set to consider Resolution No. 7691 on Monday, Nov. 2, awarding the Heritage Ranch Public Improvements Phase 2 project to Lynn Vessels Construction, LLC of Sherman for $3,459,996.51. The meeting begins at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 220 W. Mulberry St. The item is listed for its own vote rather than on the consent agenda.
What would be built
According to a staff report from Director of Engineering Wayne Lee, the city designed the extension under agreements with the Heritage Ranch planned development and Sherman ISD. The goal is a second way in and out for the school and for future development inside Heritage Ranch.
The new section would be a four-lane divided collector road running from the current dead end at the school to FM 1417. The project is listed in the city's capital improvement program as No. 26-032.
The bids
The city opened bids on Sept. 15, and 12 contractors responded. Staff scored the bids on price, which carried up to 70 points, along with contractor qualifications, safety record and construction time.
Lynn Vessels posted both the lowest price and the shortest schedule, the report says, and finished first with 95.9 of a possible 100 points. Its bid calls for substantial completion in 160 calendar days and final completion in 190.
