A $2.82 million street reconstruction project is set to move forward in Pflugerville, continuing multi-year roadway improvements in the Saxony and Willow Creek subdivisions.
Known as street reconstruction package 1C, the project will rehabilitate 14 neighborhood roads covering roughly 28,200 square yards of pavement, according to city documents.
The overview
City officials said the project represents the third phase of construction planned for the area, building on work already underway in adjacent sections of the subdivision.
“This project is a continuation of the work we’re already doing in the Saxony subdivision,” Assistant Director of Traffic and Transportation Danny Magee told City Council during its Jan. 28 meeting.
The details
Work included in the project consists of removing and replacing asphalt, stabilizing roadway subgrade, installing new pavement layers, repairing curbs and sidewalks, and restoring disturbed areas once construction is complete.
- Location: Saxony III residential subdivision
- Total streets impacted: 14
- Full-depth reconstruction: 11 streets
- Partial-depth reconstruction: 2 streets
- Mixed reconstruction: 1 street
- Estimated construction time: About 120 days
- Contractual timeline: Up to 180 days for substantial completion
The city awarded the contract to
Patin Construction LLC, which submitted the lowest bid among three proposals.
Patin’s bid totaled $2,820,654, compared with bids of approximately $2.95 million from the other two contractors.
Because Patin Construction is already performing street work in a nearby portion of the neighborhood, city officials said the contractor can move into the new phase with minimal delay.
“This is the same contractor that’s doing the work just on the adjacent part of this area,” Magee said. “So we’ve already gone through all that.”
Transportation Director Evan Groeschel said construction could begin soon after the contract is finalized and a pre-construction meeting is held.
City officials said the project includes notification and communication requirements to keep residents informed before and during construction, including guidance on parking and access during work periods.
What’s next
While the project represents the city’s major reconstruction work planned for this year, officials said additional roadway preservation projects—which focus on extending pavement life rather than full reconstruction—are also planned.
“This is going to be this year’s construction,” Groeschel said. “But every year we do roadway preservation as well, and that will be coming back with a recommendation for award.”
City Council unanimously approved the construction contract Jan. 28.
