Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Re: Fairmont Parkway Relief Sanitary Sewer <br />State Highway 146 Crossing <br />Turner Collie & Braden Job No. 13-02000-032 <br />Dear Mr. Owen, <br />This letter summarizes the current status of the proposed <br />sanitary sewer crossing State Highway 146 at 'K' Street <br />and presents our recommendations concerning the required <br />course of action. <br />The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation <br />has received bids for construction of the State Highway 146 <br />overpass at Fairmont Parkway, wh.icfi includes placemen'-t of <br />fill south of Fairmont Parkway across the proposed sewer <br />alignment. The contract was awarded to Williams Brothers <br />Construction Company, Inc. and is currently being executed <br />and finalized. Both parties to this contract expect that <br />a work order and notice to proceed will be issued by <br />Friday, July 26, 1985. The contractor expects to start <br />work on the project by August 1, 1985. The placement of <br />fill for the approaches to the overpass will be the first <br />item of work. and should start in early August. <br />Once the fill has been placed, the proposed sewer line will <br />not be able to be installed using the less expensive <br />"open-cut" type of construction, but instead will have to <br />be tunneled uner the S. H. 146 right-of-way. This would <br />involve a considerable additional expense to the City. <br />Doug Pitcock of Williams Brothers Construction Company has <br />indicated that they can avoid placing the fill in the <br />proposed sewer alignment for about 6-7 weeks, if the City <br />will proceed with construction of the sewer line so that <br />it can be completed in that time. This schedule does not <br />allow for the normal period of time required for advertise- <br />ment for bids, award of contract, delivery of materials <br />and construction. <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />PO BOX 13089 <br />HOUSTON, TEXAS 77219 <br />5757 WOODWAY <br />713 780-4100 <br />TELf:X 774185 TCB HOU <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS • TEXAS AUSTINJDALLASIEL PASOIHOUSTONIPORT ARTHUR COLORADO DENVER <br />
