The gist
Grapevine City Council members awarded a $3.51 million contract to contracting company Jagoe during a March 4 meeting. Construction is expected to start June 2 and will close the road from State Highway 26 to Marina Drive for six months, according to a staff memo.
Crews will widen Fairway Drive from two lanes to three lanes and add a new 10-foot wide shared use path from State Highway 26 to Marina Drive. Construction will also add a single-lane roundabout at the entrance to Silver Lake Marina and Cowboys Golf Club.
Fairway Drive will be closed to thru traffic during construction. Drivers will need to access Silver Lake Marina and Cowboys Golf Club from the north.
The details
The project is funded by a mix of federal dollars and transportation development credits that are being used as a local match. The city received five bids from different construction companies. Jagoe submitted the lowest bid at about $3.05 million.
The contract approved by council includes a contingency cost of about $457,621. The city is not expected to receive federal funding of up to $3.85 million for the project.
