What this is

The City Council is being asked to approve an increase of $936,459 to an existing construction contract with E-Z Bel Construction, LLC. This brings the total contract amount to $4,684,855 for work on Construction Package 1, which covers improvements to the North-South Advanced Rapid Transit Green and Silver Lines (bus rapid transit routes). The item is on the consent agenda, meaning it is grouped with other items for a single vote unless pulled for discussion.

The money

The contract increase is $936,459, raising the total contract value to $4,684,855. Funding comes from the FY 2026 General Fund Adopted Budget, and the recipient is E-Z Bel Construction, LLC.

Who's involved

The item is brought forward by Assistant City Manager John Peterek and Transportation Department Director Catherine Hernandez. The contractor receiving the additional funds is E-Z Bel Construction, LLC; the agenda does not specify which neighborhoods or riders along the Green and Silver Lines will be affected.

Context
