Pre-bid estimates by H. Carlos Smith Engineers and <br />Surveyors amounted to FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND ($500,000). <br /> <br />Mobile/Pasadena Chemical Corporation, in joint venture with BW? Contractors, <br />has proposed an experimental street project, using a by-product as base <br />material, for two (2) additional streets in the area of the street project <br />awarded to McKey Construction. The City is.to prepare sub grade and apply <br />paving surface. <br /> <br />This would leave Mon~~ent Drive, a street located in the same subdivision, <br />unpaved. Because budgeted amount for contract paving equaled the engineer's <br />estimate, Monlli~ent Drive was left off the contract. <br /> <br />The City requested H. Carlos Smith Engineers and Surveyors to estimate the <br />cost of including Monument Drive in the project. Estimated cost, including <br />engineering, is FIFTY ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($51,500), using <br />unit prices bid by McKey Construction. <br /> <br />The experimental project requires the City to furnish lime stabilization of <br />subgrade. Because of rain and weather related delays, the Street Division <br />is behind in planned street construction. The City requested H. Carlos Smith <br />to contact McKey Construction regarding adding subgrade preparation of Deaf <br />Smith and Santa Anna to the Lomax Paving Project. <br /> <br />,Because the entire construction was not requested, McKey Construction advised <br />that an additional THIRTY SIX CENTS ($0.36) per square yard of the unit price <br />bid would be required. ~stimated cost to prepared subgrade for Deaf Smith <br />and Santa Anna w0~ld be TWENTY TWO THOUS~~D EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS ($22,800). <br /> <br />Total estima~ed cost to add Mon~~ent to the street construction project, <br />along wIth suogr~de prep~ration of Deaf S~ith ~nd Santa Anna would be <br />SEVEriTY r-OUR T:f')USAr-ID rl'H2EE HUNDRED DOLLA~S (~~7!;, 300).
