Re: Bethel School Road Improvements
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
Bids were received on April 28, 1987, for the above referenced
project. A bid tabulation has been previously sent. We have
reviewed all the bids and recommend that the City of Coppell
award a contract to Ed Bell Construction, 10215 Gardner Road,
Dallas, Texas in the amount of $659,754.94 for construction of
the Bethel School Road Improvements.
It is recommended that the base bid and all three alternates be
accepted. At this point in time, we do not intend to have the
contractor provide the field office (Alternate 1) or the concrete
walks along the south side (Alternate 2). Alternate 3, the
parking area and drives near the pocket park is included because
there will not be any parking allowed along Bethel School after
completion.
The Lone Star Gas Company began their relocation contract May 19,
1987 and expect to be finished in 30-45 days. The earliest we
could expect to give a notice to proceed would be around July 1,
1987.
Please take the necessary steps to place this item on the
earliest Council agenda for approval. Upon receipt of your
authorization we will prepare the contract documents for
execution by the contractor and city.
We have enclosed a cost summary sheet for this project. If you
have any questions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
H. Wayne Ginn, P.E.
