DENTON TAP ROAD IMPROVEMENTS - PROJECT SCHEDULES
As you are aware, we opened bids for the two projects on March 3,
1988· Since that time we have been analyzing and tabulating the
bids recieved and have conducted a review of the apparent low
bids with the apparent iow bidder. At this time we are awaiting
submission by the low bidder of his qualification documentation
and checking some of his references in preparation of drafting a
recommendation of award of the Contracts for the City Council's
consideration at the April 26, 1988 City Council meeting. We
have developed the following schedule in anticipation of the
above:
April 12, 1988. The City Council should consider a
resolution requesting that Dallas County provide $ 2.6
MM in funding from the 1985 Bond Program and authorizing
the Mayor to execute a Supplemental City/County Agreement
providing for such.
April 18, 1988· The Dallas County Commissioner's Court
should consider the City of Coppell's request for partial
funding of the Denton Tap Road Improvements and approve a
Court Order allowing the County Judge to execute a
Supplemental City/County Agreement for provision of the
$ 2.6 MM in Bond Funds.
April 26, 1988. City Council consider recommendation by
Ginn, Inc. for the Award of the Contracts. (This is
dependant upon whether or not the above mentioned Court
Order is approved.)
April 26, 1988 through mid May 1988. Pursuant to award
of the Contracts, the Contracts must be executed, Bonds
furnished, pre-construction meetings conducted, and
Notices to Proceed issued.
5. Mid to late May 1988. Begin construction of both
projects·
6. Mid to late May 1989. Both projects should be complete.
In light of the n~,mher of entities and amount of work involved,
the above Schedule is the most optimistic that we can reasonably
hope to achieve in getting the two projects under construction.
Please call me if you have questions.
