It will take a little longer to begin work on the lighted pedestrian bridge across Maxwell Creek at FM 544. Bids were opened April 30 and were all above budget and considered nonresponsive for failing to meet TxDOT requirements, Public Works Director Donald Reese says.
“We’re currently waiting on a consensus from TxDOT to reject the bids, which time that allow me to come back to y’all to actually reject those bids,” Reese said at the Tuesday, June 2, Murphy City Council Meeting.
The bridge project has an estimated cost of $393,500 and will be funded by one-quarter cent of sales tax revenue and General Obligation bonds approved by voters in 2017 and issued in 2019.
