the City Meeting Room, 122-B Tichenor Avenue, for furnishing all labor, materials and equipment

necessary for the completion of the following project:

WEST MAGNOLIA STORM AND SEWER REPLACEMENT

This project consists of the abandonment and replacement of existing sanitary sewer main along

West Magnolia Avenue from North Donahue Drive to Thomas Street. The work includes

installation and replacement of existing storm drainage pipe and inlets, sidewalk, stairs, and ramp,

decorative pedestrian crosswalk replacement, and associated pavement work for street open

cuts. The work also includes installation of curb and gutter along a portion of the road where new

storm water piping will be installed. The contractor is advised to take special care not to cause

any damage to properties or hindrance to local residents. All work will be conﬁned within the

right of way limits shown on the plans. Work will be conducted adjacent to high pedestrian traﬃc

areas; therefore, all necessary safety precautions should be taken. Care should be exercised in all

locations to work around existing utility lines and services. It will be the responsibility of the

contractor to ensure no damage is done to existing utility services until new services are in place

and tested. A road closure will be a part of the project, but access to the existing parcels between

Cox Road and Thomas Street will need to maintain access throughout the project.

Plans, speciﬁcations, and contract documents are available for viewing, free of charge, at
