This multi-year project involved Karnes City performing force account construction for first-time city streets and hiring contractors to perform street overlay projects on existing streets. The City performed the following street construction projects on a yearly basis since 2015:

The new City Street Construction project involved constructing “All-Weather Base” first time streets for Karnes City on existing street rights-of-way utilized as dirt streets. The City procured street construction equipment for the force account construction. The streets were designed as center crown streets, 24 feet wide with 8-inch Type A, Grade 1, flexible base. The initial construction utilized ditches in the right-of-way, but as funding is permitted the streets are designed to be future 38-foot wide streets with curb and gutter. Separate material procurement contracts were established for flexible base and for corrugated metal pipe drainage conduits for this street improvements project. Approximately 3 miles of roadways were designed for City force account construction including approximately 14 separate streets.
