SBzan:
I have performed a preliminary review of the engineering firms that you recommend we send Request for
Proposals (RFQ) for this Project. Specifically, Dallas County is favorable impressed with work performed by
(i) Turner Collie & Braden Inc. and (ii) Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers. I do not have enough information
to evaluate the other three (3) firms. Therefore preliminary review warrants that you obtain RFQ's from the
five (5) firms mentioned in your letter dated November 12, 2001. Please forward a copy of the RFQ's fi.om
each firm that responds to your inquiry. Upon review Dallas County will rank the firms listed and ask that you
combine this ranking with the ranking that the City of Coppell performs in order to choose the best qualified
firm.
Also, currently I am preparing the Implementation Agreement for this Project. Once the Dallas County District
Attorney's office approves the Agreement I will forward three copies of it to you. At that time please have
Mayor Sheehan sign all three and return them to me. I will then have Judge Jackson sign them. After Judge
Jackson signs and dates them I will return one of the originals to you. Please note that I can only reimburse
agreed upon costs for work performed after the day that Judge Jackson signs the Agreements. I can be reached
at #214-653-6879 if you have any questions.
I hope that you have a Merry Christmas.
