Re: Bethel Road Project
Dear Ken:
It was the City of Coppell's and Dallas County's intent to resection the south side of Bethel Road, from
the west side of the Grapevine Creek bridge to Sta. 78 + 00, following the installation of the sanitary
sewer line. An estimation of $149,223.88 was made based on the information outlined in the City/County
Agreement, Court Order 96-034.
The City and County were hopeful that the north side of Bethel would hold up under the construction and
installation of the sanitary sewer line. Since the construction began, the north side of Bethel has
deteriorated rapidly. It is now apparem that the north side needs to be resecfioned from Sta. 7 + 65 to
East Coppell Rd.
It is my opinion that we need to go ahead and budget money to incorporate the entire project with the
understanding that the section from East Coppell Road to Sta. 78 + 00 could possibly be saved. It is
highly likely, however, that this section or at least most of this section will be lost due to the installation
of the sanitary sewer line.
Based on these thoughts and the accepted design for the south side of the roadway, I have worked up an
estimate of $90,000 to resection the entire north side of Bethel. The City of Coppell and Dallas County
would split this additional cost equally.
Before the City of Coppell makes a final decision, I suggest we arrange an on-site meeting to discuss your
options.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Sharp
Supervisor
