The project provides a complete upgrade of sanitary water and sewer infrastructure for the Central Estates and Praxedis Saldivar colonias in Brownsville, Texas. Funded by HUD’s Texas Community Development Block Grant, the contract requires installation of new 8‑inch PVC sewer lines, fiberglass manholes, yard‑line connections, septic‑tank de‑commissioning, and extensive site work including removal and replacement of existing driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and landscaping. The work is divided among several private‑drive corridors and two public streets, with detailed quantity‑based line items and mandatory Davis‑Bacon prevailing‑wage compliance.
