Re: Bethel Road I - ST 99-OS/Freeport XIVc~ XV Duke Project No. FPN014-D00 To Whom It May Concern: In response to your letter dated September 21,2005 from Kenneth M. Griffin to Craig Bond of TranSystems (letter attached) Duke Construction, L.P. agrees to pay for engineering and construction costs required for the tie-in of storm sewer from the Freeport XN & XV site to the future Bethel Road storm drainage system. In addition, Duke agrees to pay for approximately 1,200 linear feet of 5' sidewalk to be constructed by The City of Coppell with the Bethel Road I project. To ensure funding for the above, Duke Construction will place in escrow a dollar amount based upon a scope of work and estimate prepared by Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers and agreed upon by both parties. This estimate will be prepared upon TranSystems' completion of the Bethel Road I plan revisions required for the tie-in. If in the event actual construction costs vary from the escrow amount either Duke Construction shalt pay the overage amount or be issued a refund check by The City of Coppell for the remaining escrow balance. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at the office at (972} 361-6743. Sincerely, Bruce S.
