At a Nov. 18 meeting, Fulshear City Council unanimously approved a $2.33 million construction contract with Conrad Construction to add a storm sewer system for the east side of Downtown.
The Downtown Eastside Drainage project, which was identified as a priority in the city’s drainage master plan, will also reconstruct Fourth Street to a concrete curb and gutter street with on-street parking and add an 8-foot sidewalk along the road, according to agenda documents.
Six bids were proposed to city staff, with Conrad coming in as the lowest bidder, according to agenda documents.
