Relief for our City roads is coming! The State of Texas General Land Office (“GLO”) has notified the City that Bevil Oaks’ will receive $2,000,000 in funds to repair approximately TWELVE MILES of its streets. The money is available due to a Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery provided by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant is the result of persistent effort by Mayor Becky Ford and the City’s Engineer (LJA Engineering) with support from your City Council and the City’s grant administrators (Public Management, Inc.).
The project began as a comprehensive request to repair all streets in Bevil Oaks and the attached map illustrates that almost every street will be substantially affected. Each road involved is marked in blue and the portions of the roads unaffected by this particular grant are highlighted in red. The map is preliminary. Due to increased material and construction costs, some portions of the project may be slightly adjusted. Please note that any area excluded due to the limited budget and all unaffected roads remain within the City’s annual maintenance program and will be addressed as soon as practical.
The City’s Engineer was procured as its Disaster Recovery Coordinator, so preparation for this project has already begun. The City has formally entered into an agreement with the GLO and conducted a kick-off meeting to start the process of designing the project, conducted environmental assessments, and advertising the project for construction. The City anticipates beginning actual work within approximately 10 months, but hopefully sooner.
Ditches:
If you are concerned with the drainage along the streets, Jefferson County PCT 1 maintains these small ditches. You can put a work order in with the office and a PCT 1 employee will contact you.
Culverts: DO NOT PURCHASE A CULVERT UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE COUNTY WHAT SIZE YOU WILL NEED FOR YOUR LOCATION.
Once a work order has been put in for a new culvert install Jefferson County PCT 1 will come out and determine what size culvert you need, you will then purchase a culvert.
Once the proper culvert has been purchased and delivered please contact the office, you will then need to pay $250.00 for the limestone that will be installed with culvert. The City will then send the work order on the PCT 1 for install. PCT 1 will include your work order on their schedule and install it ASAP.
Driveways:
Limestone can be purchased from the county at the current rate. We suggest you consult with the city regarding the city right-of-way and utility easements prior to installing driveways and culverts.
Our roads are maintained by Jefferson County PCT 1 as well. The City pays for all materials. If you notice pot holes or other street damage please report it to the City of Bevil Oaks. Therefor it can be properly inspected and reported to PCT 1.
The new DD6 gauge at Pine Island Bayou at the Hwy 105 bridge is now working!
