Re: Bethel School Road ST 02-02 (Driveway Modifications)
Dear Mr. Avidano:
This letter is written as a follow-up to our May 1, 2003 meeting in which we discussed proposed
driveway relocations associated with the reconstruction of Bethel School Road. I discussed this
with our attorney and he stated we could participate in the relocation of the driveways by executing
an interlocal agreement between the City of Coppell and the USPS.
With this letter I am including a draft Interlocal Agreement provided by our attorney which would
allow us to participate with USPS to modify the ingress/egress at the postal facility at 450 S.
Denton Tap Road. Paragraph three of the Interlocal Agreement discusses the cost participation as
being one-half of the construction cost or up to a maximum of $17,500. It is worded in this
manner in the event that the driveway modifications cost less than the estimated $35,000. If the
cost is more than $35,000, participation by the USPS would only be the stated $17,500.
This Interlocal Agreement requires approval by the City Council. The earliest date it could be
presented for approval is June 10, 2003. In order for the agreement to be presented at that
meeting, I would need verification no later than May 23, 2003 that USPS approves of the
document. I will be out of town the week of May 12 – 16; therefore, if you have any questions
th
about the document, you can reach me at my office the week of May 19.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
