Pleasant Run construction delayed, substantial
completion now targeted for May
Pleasant Run Road reconstruction is delayed and may reach
substantial completion in May, after a series of issues. The
City knows this is a corridor community members use for
their daily commute and that this construction has
disrupted that traffic. The City apologizes for the
inconvenience and thanks motorists for their patience.
City staff presented a project update to City Council at a
Jan. 16 worksession. The project consists of rebuilding the
road from Shelton Road to John McCain Road with the
addition of ribbon curb, sidewalks and trails, upsizing of the
existing water line, the addition of sanitary sewer, and
improvements to the drainage system along the corridor.
The project, which was originally slated for substantial
completion in April, is now on a May completion timeline
after overcoming a series of hurdles and errors.
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt identified some of those
hurdles including adjustments to the traffic control plan,
breaks to the old existing waterline that would flood the
construction site, and franchise utility conflicts.
The City also had to work with the contractor after the
asphalt it placed did not meet City standards. The
contractor must now remove and replace the asphalt,
which will require more time. This work will be done at no
cost to the city. City staff remains on-site regularly to
ensure the product delivered by the contractor meets
Colleyville standards.
If this project goes beyond the allotted work days, the
contractor could be responsible for liquidated damages. To
offset the delays, the contractor will work six days a week
for the remainder of the project and is looking at
opportunities within the construction schedule to reduce
overall project time.
