CM 1980-09-23 Minutes of September 23, 1980
The City Council of the City of Coppell met in regular session on September
23, 1980 at 7:30 p.m. in the Coppell High School Cafeteria.
The following members were present:
Andrew Brown, Jr., Mayor
David Phillips, Mayor Pro Tem
Roy Brock, Councilman
Orville Mayo, Councilman
Dale Ware, Councilman
Councilman Glen White was not present. Also present were City Administrator
James Elium, City Secretary Dorothy Timmons, and City Attorney Larry Jackson.
The meeting was called to order and everyone asked to stand while Mayor Pro
Tem ~hillips gave the invocation. Following the invocation, Councilman Mayo
moved that the reading of the minutes be waived; Councilman Brock seconded
and motion carried 4-0. Councilman Brock then moved that the minutes be
approved as submitted; Councilman Mayo seconded and motion carried 4-0.
The first item to be considered by the Council was a Citizens Appearance by
Dr. Royce Lively to request an extension of one year on his temporary Mobile
home permit. Dr. Lively stated that because of the economy and other unfore-
seen items, he is not prepared at this time to take out a building permit for
a permanent structure. Following discussion, Councilman Brock moved that the
temporary permit be extended for a period of one vear with the understanding
that a buildinq permit would be taken out before the exoiration of that year.
This permit would be extended from September ll, 1980; ~ouncilman Ware second-
ed and motion carried 4-0.
The next item to be considered was a replat of Lot l-A, Shadydale Acres. Hr.
Bill Campbell was present to request this replat. His house is presently on
one acre, and he wants to sell the back portion of the lot. Following dis-
cussion by the Council, r~ayor Pro Tem Phillips moved that the replat be ap-
proved; Councilman Brock seconded and motion carried 4-0.
Approval of the final plat on Woodridge No. 1 was then discussed by the Council.
Mr. David Ruehlman made the presentation. He stated that this portion of the
final plat would consist of 42 lots of which 20 are Townhomes and 22 are Single
Family Lots. Phase 2 of the final plat would consist of all of that area west
and north of the drainage ditch and would include improvements on the drainage
ditch. Mr. Ruehlman stated that the back portion of the lots which front on
Sandy Lake Road are extra deep in order to provide for berms as had been pre-
viously agreed to. He also stated that the lots in the Townhouse area are
45 feet wide rather than 40 feet as previously submitted in the preliminary
plat. Mr. Ruehlman also deposited with the City $6,300 for Park Fund money.
A credit of $3,152 or 42 lots would be given to the Woodridge Addition since
the payment was $150 per lot rather than the specified $75 per lot. Follow-
ing discussion on this item, Mayor Pro Tem Phillips moved that the final plat
be accepted as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission; Councilman
Brock seconded and motion carried 4-0.

discussed by the Council and also of awardina a bid for construction of a
ground storage tank. Mr. Bob Hogan was present to discuss this item with the
Council. He stated that a total of 21 bids had been received on the 16 inch
water line and that 3 bids had been received on the oround storage tank. It
is their recommendation that the low bid in each case be awarded. Following
discussion on this item, Councilman Brock moved that the bid on the 16" water
line be awarded to Lightning Construction Company in the amount of $150,733.10.

Gentlemen:
On September 18, 1980, sealed bids were received and publicly opened
at 2:00 p.m., at the Fire Station adjacent to City Hall for the con-
struction of the two above referenced projects.
A total of twenty-one (21) bids were received for the Additions to
the Water Distribution System, ranging from a low of $150,733.10 to
a high of $248,016.25.
~. Three bids were received on the 500,000-Gallon Ground Storage Tank
~ and High Service Pumping Station, ranging in price from $489,998.00
to $574,159.00.
.During the process of the bid opening, each proposal was generally
checked to note any irregularities in the preparation of the bids.
The bid bonds, included with each proposal as required, were re-
viewed and found to be acceptable, and each bidder had acknowledged
receipt of the addenda.
The low bidders on the two projects are as follows:

Grand Prairie, Texas 75050
Amount Bid: $489,998.00
Separate lists of the contractors who bid on the two projects, as
well as their total amounts bid, are enclosed. A detailed Bid
Tabulation Sheet indicating the amount bid for each item by each
contractor is being prepared and will be forthcoming.
The proposals submitted by the two above contracting firms have
been thoroughly reviewed in our office, and the extensions and
additions of each bid item have been checked to verify their
correctness. No errors were found in either proposal.
On September 23, 1980, we met with Mr. Jerry C. Daniels, Vice
President of Lightning Construction Co., Inc., and Mr. Jeff Nolen,
Vice President of Contract Builders, to generally discuss their
proposals and the two projects. Each contractor indicated satis-
faction with his bid and looks forward to working for the City.
In review of the qualification information received from each
contractor, it appears that they have experienced personnel,
sufficient equipment and financial stability to handle their pro-
jects as specified. The bonding and insurance agency for each
contractor indicated their firms would have no hesitancy in furnish-
ing the required performance and payment bonds and the certificate
of insurance.
From our favorable review of the information received and from
comments of references contacted pertaining to the experience and
capability of the low bidders, it is recommended that the City of
Coppell award the contract for construction of the Additions to
~he Water Distribution System to Lightning Construction Co., Inc.,
mn the amount of their low base bid of $125,458.10. It is further
recommended that construction of Additive Alternates Nos. 1 and 2
be included, making the total amount of the contract $150,733.10.
Additive Alternate No. 1 is the installation of fire hydrants on
the existing 16-inch water main located in Bethel Road from
Coppell Road westward to Esters Road and in Esters Road from
Bethel Road to the existing elevated storage tank. Additive Al-
ternate No. 2 will include a l%-inch asphaltic concrete pavement
surface along Bethel Road from Coppell Road eastward to a point
approximately 125 feet west of Harris Street.
Honorable Mayor and
City Aldermen Page Three September 23, 1980
Secondly, it is recommended that the City of Coppell award the
contract for the 500,000-Gallon Ground Storage Tank and High
Service Pumping Station to Contract Builders in the amount of
their low base bid of $489,998.00.
If you concur in these recommendations, please advise the suc-
cessful contractors and our firm of the awards and instruct us to
proceed with the preparation of formal contract documents and as
to when you would like the notices issued to proceed with the
construction.
Yours very truly,

TO: City Council, City of Coppell
FROM: Guy Smith, 541 Shadowcrest, Coppell, Texas
SUBJECT: Recommendation of Citizens to serve on the Park Board
On behalf of several komeowners living in the willowood addition of the City
of Coppell, I would like to suhnit the following names for consideration by
the City Council as candidates for appointment to the City of Coppell Park
Board.
Fred Ferraro 537 Shadowcrest Coppell, TX 462-0725 ~
Sandy Marks 400 Woodhill Coppell, TX 462-1149
Joe Nave 550 Shadowcrest Coppell, TX 462-1872 ~. ,,~,~
The Willowood addition has over 850 adult homeowners, many of whom have
children. These homeowners are concerned about the welfare of their children,
and being able to have areas where the children can play without having to
resort to the streets as playgrounds. Many adults would also enjoy having
areas where they could go to have picnics - or where it could be restful and
relaxing just to walk and jog.
In recent weeks the greenbelt area in the Willowood subdivision has been
suggested as an area that playground equipment could be located for the
benefit of many children as well as adults living in this and other areas
nearby.
Since the willowood Subdivision is now a viable part of the City of Coppell,
in which live many children as well as adults who enjoys parks and
recreational areas, I feel that the Willowood area should be represented in
any planning, development, and beautification undertaken by the City of
Coppe 11.
I feel that any or all of the above named individuals would be a definite
asset to the City of Coppell Park Board, and would actively work to represent
and help beautify the City of Coppell.
Respectfu~yz.~ukmitted,
Guy S. Smith
