Thanks for your response. I have reviewed our schedule for West Sandy Lake and assumed that a
contractor would not start a proj ect like this during the holiday season. Using that assumption, I
backed in a new schedule.
Start project: January 3, 2006
Award contract to lowest responsible bidder: December 13, 2005 (there is only one Council meeting in
December)
Open bids: November 29, 2005
Prebid: November 15, 2005
Advertise project for bid: November 4 and 11, 2005
Send notice to newspaper to begin advertising: October 31, 2005
October 31 st is the key date. At that time, TXU needs to be onsite or commit to the City that they will
be clear by January 3, 2006. It's my understanding that it will take about 2 months to relocate the
existing utilities.
If the above dates are not met, then the earliest I could go to Council for award would be January 10,
2006. In essence, there is at least one month lost time if TXU cannot clear utilities by January 3, 2006.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience concerning TXU's timeline.
Thanks
Ken Griffin

Ken, TXU Electric Delivery has deployed over 750 employees and contractor to help in the restoration of
electricity in Florida and Louisiana after the devastation that Hurricane Katrina left behind. Restoration in Florida
is completed and we are currently traveling to Louisiana to join Entergy crews. Please provide me with a
schedule as to when you absolutely need TXU Electric Delivery facilities moved and I will meet with the
Operations Management group to see if we have the materials and personnel to meet your schedule. Thanks
Ken.
