Dear Mr. Lane:
Rebcon would like to propose value engineering options to the City of Coppell for the
bridge on the referenced project. We propose to use prestressed concrete panels in the
bridge deck, metal interior diaframs, and thickened slab end diaframs for a savings of
$13,000.00 to the City.
I have enclosed Texas Department of Transportation standard detail sheets for each of the
proposed options for your information. All of these options are commonly used in bridge
construction in the Metroplex and will not detract from the structural integrity of the
bridge.
Even though the cubic yards of concrete will decrease, the $13,000.00 savings is based on
still being paid for the contract quantity of 524.5 cubic yards of slab concrete. If these
options meet with your and the City's approval, we will submit shop drawings prior to
fabrication of the interior diaframs and the concrete panels. I cannot submit concrete
beam shop drawings until I have your decision, because these options affect the fabrication
of the beams.
Thank you for your consideration of these options.
Sincerely,
Robert C. Bibby
