Chadbourne St. Phase B project - City Council 9-2-25

The City of San Angelo City Council discussed the Chadbourne Street Phase B project, a continuation of the successful Phase A rehabilitation completed in 2020. The project involves a $13.2 million budget, including a $12.7 million bid from Reese Albert, Inc., the selected local contractor, and a $500,000 contingency fund to manage potential changes during construction. Funding includes a significant grant from Techtop (TASA) covering pedestrian amenities, reducing the city's financial burden. The project aims to enhance the corridor from Loop 306 to the river bridge with cohesive design elements, improved sidewalks, lighting, and amenities to stimulate economic growth. The council emphasized minimizing business disruption through phased construction and effective communication. The estimated timeline is approximately 24 months, with careful consideration of start dates to avoid holiday impacts. The council approved the project, highlighting the importance of prudent financial management and local contractor engagement.
