Humble City Council members approved a pair of agreements with ARKK Engineers to perform work on two major upcoming projects during the council’s May 14 meeting.
The details
According to agenda documents, the contracts approved include:
- A $249,000 contract to perform preliminary engineering and design services for the city’s Main Street Phase 1 Reconstruction Project
- A roughly $190,000 contract to perform design services for improvements to the city’s water distribution infrastructure
A closer look
The Main Street Phase 1 Reconstruction Project will consist of roadway paving and drainage improvements, as well as a water line replacement, according to agenda documents. The first phase of the project will run on Main Street in Humble between Avenue D and Avenue H.
City Manager Jason Stuebe said the $249,000 contract is for engineering and design services and does not include any construction services.
"[The first phase of this project] will be to address the drainage connectivity along the cross streets," Stuebe said. “Because this will be such an extensive project, we’ll be breaking this up into phases."
Improvements to the city’s water distribution infrastructure will include upsizing a 6-inch waterline located along North Houston Avenue to a 12-inch waterline and installing an 8-inch waterline on Charles Street between Seventh Avenue and FM 1960 Bypass Road, according to agenda documents.
“This is also for engineering services only,” Stuebe said. “It still needs to be designed before it goes out to bid.”
