The Northern Walnut Creek Trail has been temporarily halted so that the City may work through some issues that were discovered on the plans while under construction. The City originally attempted to work through these issues with the contractor however some of the items discovered require time to resolve and it would be inappropriate to leave the contractor on hold for an extended period of time.
The City is now in the process of revising the plans and rebidding the project. The first priority is to ensure that the federal funding for this project has been preserved and to that end the City has worked with TXDOT and has ensured that the funding is available for rebidding.
The plans will be revised for bidding over the next 5 months and after bidding, we anticipate the successful contractor to be on site approximately 9 months from now or March of 2012. The project is expected to take approximately 10 months to complete or January of 2013.
In the interim, the current contractor is demobilizing and cleaning the site. Any issues with the site not completed by the contractor will be cleaned by City forces as soon as possible.
