Background Information:
On August 13, 2020 two bids were received for the Hopkins Street Multi-Use Bike and Pedestrian Project. Bids were evaluated by staff and Brian Boecker, P.E. of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to assure they were responsive and responsible. After evaluating the bids, staff recommends awarding a construction contract to the low bidder, Montoya Anderson Construction, Inc. (Mac, Inc.) in the amount of $1,483,214.00 for the Base Bid + Additive Alternate 1.
The project limits are Hopkins from CM Allen to Thorpe. The scope will include the following:
• Multi-use path within the project limits
• Pedestrian crossing across Hopkins from City Hall to Public Library
• Pedestrian crossing across Hopkins at Riverside
• Adding one turn lane on Charles Austin at Hopkins
On November 10, 2014, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) awarded the City of San Marcos $2,000,000 in federal funding through the Surface Transportation Program for the Hopkins Street Multi-Use Bike and Pedestrian Project.
The CAMPO board also awarded the City $500,000 in transportation credits which allows the City to defer the required local match until after the project costs exceed $2,000,000. Anything over $2,000,000 would be covered 100% by the City.
With this construction award, the current estimate for City funds on this project is $250,000. These funds will be used for non-eligible items required to complete the project.
Construction is expected to start in November 2020 and be completed by late Summer 2021.
