Dear Mayor Duggan:
Herewith returned are both counterparts of the proposed
Roadway Easement to cover the MacArthur Blvd. crossing in
Coppell. As discussed in our telephone conversation of
March 17, we are agreeable to the change in Item 15, but
not the changes in Items 12 and 16, detailed as follows:
Item 12. Our estimated cost to install the
crossing, as per Item 12, is $182,732. Ordinarily, the
contingencies included in the estimate will cover any
overrun not expected. We do not expect the cost to exceed
the estimate. In order to include "not to exceed" wording
in the agreement, we will require adding 20% to the
estimated costs.
Item 15. We can accept the wording "Railroad
shall use its best efforts to complete its work herein
described by June 17, 1986." Please understand our ability
to complete work by a given date is contingent not only
upon our actions, but also the City's contractor, and
completion of any protection work required by the two
pipeline companies involved.
Item 16. It has been our understanding that the
two existing crossings immediately west of the location of
MacArthur Blvd. were to be closed upon completion of MacArthur
Blvd.; in particular, the Allen Road crossing at Milepost 606.28
and the stable crossing at Milepost 606.49. We must insist
closing of both crossings remain in the agreement.
I ~ave inserted revised pages 1 and 2 of the insert,
reflecting these items. If acceptable to the City, please
initial the two changes in Items 12 and 15 and' return as
soon as possible.

As we discussed, it would be advantageous to arrange
a meeting of all parties involved in the construction to
determine what is required of each party to meet the
schedule. Also since the City has approved future relocation
of Belt Line Road approximately 500' to the South, the effect
on the crossing, and the interim measures taken, need to
be discussed.
Very truly yours,
D. R. Andrews
Field Engineer
