Bay Area Blvd. - The design for this Project is complete. Harris County is responsible for <br />construction of roadway and drainage improvements, including adjustment of pipelines.

Currently, the City is awaiting <br />delivery of documents for recording. When completed, the County will authorize pipeline <br />adjustment and begin the bidding process. <br /> <br />Due to the delay in securing final ROWand easement documents, the Project has been <br />delayed. Furthermore, if the pipeline adjustments are not completed by February, the <br />adjustment will be delayed until June 2004, due to operational constraints by the Pipeline <br />operator. It is anticipated that construction of the roadway and drainage improvements will not <br />start until late summer or fall 2004. <br /> <br />. Bay Area Blvd. Trunk Sewer - The easement necessary for this project is as above. However, <br />bids have been received and the Project was awarded to Vintage Contractors, Inc. on 10-27- <br />03.
