Box 478 CopDell, Texas 75019 214-462-0022 April 9, 1996 RE: Town Center / North Spine Road Escrow Agreement (ST 95-02) Dear Mr. Turner: This letter is written as a follow-up to our meeting of April 8, 1996 in which we discussed the North Spine Road Escrow Agreement and the dispersement of funds for that project. Based on negotiations prior to opening the bids on the project and conversations after the bid opening, the financial obligation for the construction to the Parks of Coppell Trust, a Texas Trust, acting by and through its sole Trustee, the A P of C VI Exchange Trust, a Texas Trust, acting by and through its sole Trustee, and the H P of C VI Exchange Trust, a Texas Trust, acting by and through its sole Trustee (all of the foregoing trusts collectively, "the Trust") is a total amount of $133,336.30. My understanding of the process is that the City is to receive requests from the contractor and then provide those to you utilizing the Request for Escrow Disbursement Schedule 1 and then simultaneously provide that to the Trust at which time if no objections are raised by the Trust you will cut a check in the amount of the Request for Escrow Disbursement back to the City of Coppell. That amount will then be processed through the City and a check cut to the contractor. The agreement states that the checks will be cut to the City of Coppell. Therefore, in an attempt to simplify the process, the City of Coppell is willing to state that the entire total financial obligation to the Trust will be in the amount of $133,336.30 and as such request that one check be cut for that amount to the City of Coppell and that the City then disburse the funds and administer the contract for the construction of the North Spine Road in the same way as other Capital Improvement Projects are administered. This process will expedite payment from the City to the contractor, release any excess funds that the Trust may have placed with yourself during the closing of the property and relieve the Trus*i of any future obligations of cost on this project if the project were to overrun. Attached to this letter, i~a Request for Escrow Disbursement in the mount of the $133,336.30. Concurrently with this request. being process to you, a copy has been provided to Richard M. Dooley, Attorney for the Trust. Also in'eluded is a copy of the North Spine Road Escrow Agreement and a copy of the Construction Supervision Agreement. To close out our files on this project a signed copy of each of the aforementioned agreements should be processed back to the City so that they can be filed with the City Secretary's office. If you should have any questions or need any additional information please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
