ITEM CAPTION:
Consider approval of awarding Bid/Contract # Q-0198-03 to Landmark Structures, Inc. for the

SUBMITTED BY: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.,
TITLE: Director of Engineering & Public Works
STAFF RECOMMENDS: Approval X Denial
STAFF COMMENTS:
On February 19, 1998 two bids were received for the construction of the second elevated storage tank in west Coppell.
The low bid was from Landmark Structures, Inc. a highly qualified firm which has recently completed tanks in Farmers
Branch, Carrollton, PIano, Irving and University Park. This particular firm builds the pedestal first, then builds the bowl
on the ground and makes an event of raising the bowl to the top. The raising of the bowl in Farmers Branch last year
received extensive coverage in the Dallas Morning News.
The base bids includes the basic 2 million gallon water tank, with some additional storage on the interior and a crane on
the interior to lift items to the additional storage. It also includes a brick fence around the exterior landscaping and the
construction of a material storage facility. Council may be aware that the current material storage facility at the West
Service Center, located at the southwest corner of Royal and Bethel Road, is becoming increasingly unsightly, especially
in light of the quality development taking place in the area. Alternate "A" is the construction of a portion of Northpoint
Drive to provide paved access to the water tank and the material storage facility. Alternate "B" just provides an all
weather access to the site. The estimated construction time for the storage tank is 400 calendar days, with an additional
60 calendar days for the construction of the access. With the start of construction in the vicinity of April 1998, it is
anticipated that the water tank should come online in late May or early June 1999.
Staff recommends the award of the Base Bid and Alternate "A " to Landmark Structures, Inc. in the amount of $2,256,717

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. &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 &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.
