A design was developed by the engineering firm of Kimley-Horn and issued for competitive bidding. Three bids were received on July 30, 2025 with Central North Construction, LLC., of Allen, Texas, submitting the lowest bid meeting specifications. City staff, with the aid of Kimley-Horn, has reviewed the low bidder’s qualifications, bonding capacity and references.
