Colleyville City Council approved an interlocal agreement with the city of Euless for a road project on Heritage Avenue at the March 10 regular meeting.

The overview

The project consists of extending the southbound right-turn lane on Heritage Avenue and Cheek-Sparger Road, addressing issues caused by erosion at the existing culvert bridge crossing and replacing and extending the culvert under the road, Colleyville Public Works Director Lisa Escobedo said. A 7-foot concrete sidewalk, curb ramps and a pedestrian handrail will also be added to the east side of the road to connect the apartment complex with H-E-B, she said.

The city of Euless will contribute $50,000 toward construction costs and pay for the sidewalk construction, curb ramps, handrails and the waterline adjustment, according to city documents.

The city of Colleyville will pay $119,788 for designs and any remaining costs associated with the project, per city documents.

According to Colleyville’s Capital Improvement Plan, the project is anticipated to cost $640,000, but that total is subject to change.

Council approved a contract with CSRS LLC, a project planning company, to design the improvements in November 2024, according to city documents.

Looking ahead

Once the city of Euless and CSRS LLC approve the interlocal agreement, then CSRS LLC will finish the designs and bring them to Colleyville City Council for approval, according to city documents.

After that, the cities of Euless and Colleyville will gain the necessary rights of way for the project, and Colleyville officials will coordinate with a utility company to relocate any necessary utilities, per city documents.

No date has been set for when construction will begin for this project, Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery said.

Also on the agenda

Council also approved a construction services agreement with La Banda LLC to replace the waterline in the Pecan Park Estates neighborhood, according to city documents.

“This area had some drainage issues,” City Engineer Larry Wright said. “It was a neighborhood that started way back in the 1970s when the city of Colleyville didn’t have a lot of drainage requirements.”

The current 6-inch water line will be replaced with an 8-inch water line, and new gate valves and fire hydrants will be installed, per city documents.

Additionally, a new storm drainage system will be installed and connected to the recently completed drainage system from Ponderosa Street to SH 26, Wright said.

The contract includes construction services not to exceed $1.4 million, a project contingency not to exceed $145,000 and a materials testing budget not to exceed $55,930, according to city documents. The city will use its capital projects, utility and drainage funds to pay for these improvements.

The project is expected to begin as soon as the city of Colleyville issues a written notice that La Banda LLC may proceed. Once the project starts, it is expected to take 270 days to complete, per city documents.
