Re: Wagon Wheel Ranch Elevated Storage Tank
Project Number WA-96-01
Bid Number Q0198-03
Dear Mr. Griffin:
We have checked the bids received on February 19, 1998, for the construction of the Wagon Wheel Ranch
Elevated Storage Tank project (Project Number WA-96-01, Bid Number Q0198-03). We are enclosing both a
summary of the bids received along with an itemized tabulation of the bids.
Landmark Structures, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, submitted the low bid base bid and low additive alternate
bids for both additive alternate "A" and "B" as follows:
Base Bid Amount: ..........................................................................................$2,191,628.00
Base Bid + Additive Alternate "A": ...............................................................$2,256,717.00
Base Bid + Additive Alternate "B": ...............................................................$2,199,691.00
The Base Bid represents the work associated with the construction of the elevated storage tank, material
storage area, site improvements and the necessary appurtenances to the tank. Additive Alternate "A" adds the
extension of Northpoint Drive approximately 340 feet as a 4-lane divided concrete thoroughfare to the main
entrance of the tank site. Additive Alternate "B" adds the extension of Northpoint Drive approximately 340
feet as a gravel access drive to the main entrance to tank.
We have worked with this contractor in other Cities and are familiar with their experience and qualifications.
They have successfully completed similar elevated storage projects in the City of Farmers Branch, City of
Carrollton, City of PIano, City of Irving and University Park. It is our opinion Landmark Structures, Inc. has
the equipment, experience and financial capability to properly pursue a project of this type.
