Keith:
Attached is our contractor recommendation. The letter references the arrangement as we discussed with RKM
being awarded Heartz and Clear Creek. Conatser would be awarded Dobecka. I did not find anything in their
experience or reference statements that would lead otherwise.

RE: 2409 Tax Streets: S. Heartz Road, Dobecka Drive, Ctear Creek Lane
Gear Keith,
As you Know, bids were opened on July 8, 2010 for the above referenced project,
and bid tabulations have been prepared documenting the seven bids. After
careful examination of the bid documents, there were no errors that affected the
results of the bids as they were read. One discrepancy was noted in one of the
higher bids as indicated in the attached bid tabulations.
The 2009 Tax Streets project was bid in such a way that the City has the option
to award multiple contractors based on the low bid on each street or a lower total
overall bid. The low bidders on each of the streets and the overall project are as
follows.
- S. Heartz Read — RKM Utility Services, Inc. ($ 534,582.50)
- Dobecka Drive — Conatser Construction, TIC L.P. ($ 297,835.00
- Clear Creek Lane — RKM Utility Services, Inc. ($ 587,597.50)
- Total bid for all three streets— RKM Utility Services, Inc. ($ 1 ,423,792.50)
TNP has contacted both RKM Utility Services, Inc. and Conatser Construction,
TX L.P. and received information regarding each company's past and present
experience, as well as the type of equipment available. We have also contacted
representatives from each of the companies to further discuss the scope of the
project and the potential award of contract.
RKM Utility Services, Inc. provided a list of public sector projects in many cities in
the area. All of the references that were contacted responded positively_ One
reference stated that RKM had previously been awarded two additional contracts
in the City, and they would continue to work with this company. i have further
discussed the scope of the project with Mr. Dennis Gulley at RKM, and I believe
that he provided a bid in good faith and understanding of the project.

Conatser Construction provided with their reference information a letter further
detailing their project breakdown and company size. It appears that they work in
both the public and private sector with a majority of the work being on the public
side. Conatser is well known in the private sector as being a contractor that
performs the project well and quickly completes the job. I have further discussed
the scope of the project with Russ Sigman at Conatser, and I believe that he
provided a bid in good faith and understanding of the project.
It is my understanding that the City would prefer to award the project on a "per
street bid" basis and not as an overall contract to one contractor. The results of
the bids received allow for the project to be divided among two contractors and
remain awarded to the low bidder for each street. Based on the information
provided by the low bidders and obtained during TNP's research, it appears that
the following construction contracts should be awarded. Not included in the
below contract amounts is the potential incentive award of up to $40,000 per
street for a total of up to $ 120,000.
- S. Heartz Road — RKM Utility Services, Inc. ($ 534,582.50)
- Dobecka Drive — Conatser Construction, TX L.P. ($ 297,835.00)
- Clear Creek Lane — RKM Utility Services, Inc. ($ 587,597.50)
Not included in the above contract amounts is the potential incentive award of up
to $40,000 per street for a total of up to $ 120,000 for the total project. This
incentive amount would be for early completion of the project based on the
projected number of days needed for the completion of each street as stated in
the bid documents.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding this information.
Sincerely,
TEAGUE NALL AND PERKINS, INC.
