​During its April 28 meeting, Shavano Park City Council voted to award the De Zavala Road Project contract to J3 Company.

The overview

Presented by Chis Otto, geographic discipline leader for Colliers Engineering and acting Shavano Park city engineer, the discussion went over cost increases, timelines and bidders' work history with the city.

“Total bids range from $4.865 million up to $5.6 million, with E-Z Bell being at $5.6 million. J3 and D&D were relatively close to each other at $4.865 and $5.02 million. Our opinion of probable construction costs back in January was $4.345 million, so we are about a half million more than we had anticipated,” Otto said.

This price increase was primarily due to the cost of the 54-inch pipe, which was estimated to cost $410 per linear foot, but has been quoted as $732 per linear foot.
