During a special meeting Dec. 19, Town Council approved a contract with Fort Worth-based Wildstone Construction for $1.91 million for the Inverness Drainage Project. The project is expected to alleviate the flooding on multiple private properties during heavy rain events, according to city documents.
What’s happening?
Director of Community Development Matt Cox said the next step would be to have citizen meetings with homeowners who live on Hillcrest Court, Inverness Drive and Indian Creek Drive to discuss the project. Cox said the goal is to have Wildstone Construction mobilized and start work by the end of January.
In June, council approved the engineering and administration services contract of the Inverness Drainage Project to Teague Nall and Perkins, the town's engineering firm, for $411,500.
The details
The city received seven bids and the three lowest bids were evaluated, scored and tabulated, according to the presentation. Wildstone, in addition to having the lowest bid, also had the lowest estimated completion date among the three finalists, according to city documents.
- Wildstone Construction, $1.91 million, 180 days
