Mid Sch l West Paving PrOject
During the past two months, Mike Martin of our Eng!nectin~ Department has met with
representatives of Dallas County to ascertain the cost of paving Middle School West parking and
roadway facilffies that serve both the School District, the Coppell Baseball Association, and Coppall
Football Association. We received from Dallas County an estimate of approximately $60,563 to
complete the project. This would include paving all existin~ roadways presently desi~matod as such
by the School District and the City, as well as the major parkin~ lots aajacent to Field one, the bus
parking area, and the pull-in parking located on the south side of the CMS West baseball complex.
The School district's portion of this would be approximately $28,722 with the City responsible for
$31,841. The quality of asphalt would not be the same as Andy Brown West. It will be a lower
grade, but one that the County has used successfully for a parking facility in downtown Dallas
across the street from the Frank Crowicy Justice Center. ~
The City Engineering staff and I, as well as Buddy Echols, have visited this s~t~ on two occasions.
We are comfortable that it will provide us the durability n__ee~_ed for the present traffic loads at CMS
West, and if it does fail it can be easily tq~dred.
I would appreciate your support in authorizing us to enter into an interlocal agreement with both the
School District and the County to complete this project in as expedient a ~ as possible in tima
for the spring baseball season at CMS West.
ff I receive no objections, I will authorize the Engineering staff to procced with ncgothtious with
the County, and also contact CISD to assure them of our willingness to participate. ff you have any
concerns, please advise no later than 5 p.m. on Monday, December 23. The funds for this will
come out of the General Fund undesignatcd fund balance.
