Background Information:
On January 2, 2025, three bids were received for the Sessom Creek Bank Stabilization and Wastewater Replacement - Phase 2 Project IFB #224-002. Jerdon Enterprise, L.P. was the apparent low bidder with a total base bid of $2,534,640.30. Based on their qualifications and references, they appear to be qualified to perform the work of this project.
In 2013, the City hired the engineering firm RPS Espey to evaluate the condition of Sessom Creek from Canyon Road to Aquarena Springs Drive. In their report, RPS Espey identified several conceptual level solutions. The highest priority project, according to this report, is to relocate the exposed wastewater trunk main in Sessom Creek from N. LBJ to Canyon Road. The Edwards Aquifer Habit Conservation Plan (HCP) and the Engineering Department have teamed up to design and construct these repairs and other restoration work along Sessom Creek.
This project will continue the restoration work started in Sessom Creek Bank Stabilization and Wastewater Replacement - Phase 1. The project primarily consists of the following improvements:
• Replacement of up to approximately 1,700 linear feet of 8 to 12-inch sanitary sewer line along Sessom Creek from Canyon Road to Canyon Fork,
• Stabilizing Sessom Creek from Canyon Road to Canyon Fork to prevent sedimentation from entering the San Marcos River
• Removal of Loquat St; which improves water quality by restoring natural stream character and function
Total construction cost is $2,534,640.30. Construction is expected to begin in May 2025 and last approximately 12-18 months, depending on weather.
