FM Utilities LLC from Midlothian was awarded a contract not to exceed $613,589.91, with a contingency amount not to exceed $106,300, during the April 16 meeting.
A material testing amount not to exceed $16,525 was also approved as part of the contract.
This is Phase 1 of the water project and part of the fiscal year 2023-24 capital improvement program, according to city documents.
The CIP will cover $600,000 of the cost, while the drainage fund will pay for the remainder of the work.

Nine companies submitted bids for the project, ranging between $676,577.10 and $2.4 million, according to city documents.
The work will focus on connecting the existing stormwater drain from Ponderosa Street to the stormwater drain on SH 26, according to Public Works Director Amber Beard. The ditch runs between Caliber Collison and the Colleyville Plaza shopping center.
