Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority 7/8/2026

The Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority board meeting held on July 8, 2026, focused primarily on procurement and project management activities related to regional transportation infrastructure. Key procurement discussions included approval of scoring criteria for a unique design and construction contract involving European firms, as no U.S. firms specialize in the required ropeway technology. The board authorized an amendment to an interlocal agreement with the city of Sakoro to access Transportation Reinvestment Zone funds for right-of-way acquisitions. Additional contract amendments were approved for engineering services and change orders, including a significant $728,000 change order for the Wiler aerial tramway project, contingent on Texas Parks and Wildlife approval. The board also reviewed and accepted quarterly financial and investment reports, discussed property acquisitions for the Montwood Drive extension project involving eminent domain proceedings, and addressed related budget and funding considerations. Motions to approve procurement-related resolutions and financial reports were passed unanimously, with no opposition noted.
