The city of Shavano Park is accepting construction bids through 2 p.m. March 8 for work to be done on a series of streets and cul-de-sacs that are to be paid for with funds from a $10 million bond. The city released its request for proposal (RFP) on Feb. 3. City officials said the 2022 voter-approved bond will support reconstruction of nine city streets east of Northwest Military Highway and five cul-de-sacs west of Northwest Military. According to city staff and Shavano Park-based firm KFW Engineers and Surveying officials, who are consulting with Shavano Park on the planned bond project, inflation’s effects on total construction costs prompted them to solicit alternate bids for End Gate Lane, Wagon Trail Road and all five targeted cul-de-sacs. This, local officials said, means the city has the option to not complete these roads in the initial bid process with the awarded contractor. Officials added the select streets and cul-de-sacs will undergo varying levels of reconstruc- tion, because they are older roads in need of surface and drainage improvements. Local leaders also said Shavano Park will receive $4 million in federal funding to improve the city’s portion of DeZavala Road, adding if any of the targeted roads cannot be fully funded within the $10 million bond amount, city officials will plan to fund those streets with federal money and finish them with the awarded DeZavala contractor.
