RE: Sandy Lake Road MacArthur Blvd. to Denton Tap Road ST 93-02
Dear Sir:
The City of Coppell has recently reviewed all Request for Qualifications (RFQ's) submitted.
The City received eighteen RFQ's for the design of Sandy Lake Road and the accompanying 24"
water transmission line.
To evaluate the RFQ's, a panel was assembled that consisted of Steve Goram, Director of Public
Works, Gary Sieb, Director of Planning and Community Services, Mike Martin, Graduate
Engineer, Jim Ragsdill, Purchasing Agent, and myself. The panel independently reviewed all
eighteen RFQ's. During the review of the RFQ's, the panel focused on the six areas listed in
the scope of services under the evaluation criteria. Those areas were:
1. Understanding of the project.
2. Ability to complete the project in a timely manner.
3. Qualifications of personnel assigned to the project.
4. The type of services proposed.
5. The finns prior experience with projects of this type.
6. The City's past experience with this firm.
The City also considered a category entitled "Other" that included any specific feature of the
REQ that was unique and/or outstanding.
On April 27th, the panel sat down as a group to jointly talk about all eighteen REQ's. The
panel used a quantifiable approach to determine the top four firms. The City was extremely
pleased that your firm chose to participate in this RFQ, however your firm is not currently being
considered for the design of this project.
The four firms that the City has scheduled for a face to face interview are Carter & Burgess,
Huitt-Zollars, Rady & Associates and Weir & Associates. The City anticipates starting contract
negotiations with one of the four firms sometime near the middle of May and finalizing contract
negotiations near the end of May.
Again, the City appreciates your interest in the design of the Sandy Lake Road Project and the
accompanying 24H water transmission line.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
City Engineer
