What this is

The City Council is being asked to approve a construction contract with J3 Company, LLC to rebuild Culebra Road between IH-10 and Callaghan Road. The contract has a maximum value of $13,737,258 and is part of the 2022 Bond Program. The ordinance also allows an incentive payment of up to 10% of certain project funds if the contractor finishes early.

The money

The contract is capped at $13,737,258. Of that, San Antonio Water System (SAWS) will reimburse the city $1,789,374 and CPS Energy will reimburse $798,575.73 for their related utility work. Funding comes from the 2022 Bond Program and the Tree Preservation and Mitigation Fund in the FY 2026 budget. An additional incentive of up to 10% may be paid from the project's contingency, incentive allowance, or other available project funds for early completion.

Who's involved
