Re: State Highway 121 Water Line (North Coppell Road to Denton Tap Road)
Project No. WA-0101
Bid No. Q-0205-02
Dear Mr. Griffin:
We have checked the construction bid proposals received at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, March 24, 2005, for the
State Highway 121 Water Line (North Coppell Road to Denton Tap Road) project. We are enclosing two
(2) copies of the Bid Tabulation and Bid Summary.
Fox Contractors, Inc. of Midlothian, Texas submitted the low bid for construction of this project in the
amount of $ 666,079.30 to be completed in a timeframe of 140 calendar days from Notice to Proceed. Fox
Contractors has recently successfully completed a sanitary sewer project for the City of Coppell with good
results, according to Coppell's Engineering Department. Fox has also been engaged on other municipal
projects for clients where Birkhoff Hendricks & Conway L.L.P. has been the Engineer of Record. On these
projects we have found them to be responsive and the results have been positive. As such, we have
concluded that Fox Contractors, Inc. is qualified and has the equipment and financial capability to
successfully complete this project.
Accordingly, we recommend the City of Coppell award a contract for the State Highway 121 Water Line
(North Coppell Road to Denton Tap Road) project in the amount of $ 666,079.30 to the low bidder on this
project, Fox Contractors, Inc. of Midlothian, Texas.
We are available at your convenience to discuss any questions you may have with our recommendation.
Sincerely yours,//~ ~
