Cummings, Supervising Engineer RE: ACME Trucking Attached are the cost estimates you requested. I ran the cost estimates f~ur basic ways: 1) The most direct route and city installed. This would require the purchase of easements and allow for no reimbursement availability. 2) The most direct route installed by a contractor which would require the purchase of easements and allow for no reimbursement availability. 3) Going down the existing 60 V.E. which would not require easements to be purchased but would be a longer run, would allow for three other businesses to tie onto the lines and allow for reimbursement. Cost estimate #3 is based on the City installing the lines. 4) Going down the existing 60 V.E. which would not require easements to be purchased but would be a longer run, would allow for three other businesses to tie onto the lines and allow for reimbursement. Cost estimate #4 is based on a private contractor installing everything. All of these were scenarios were run under the assumption that gravity flow could be achieved. They were subsequently run using a force main and lift station. When boring under a railroad bed, the railroad requires that a dry bore be used. Dry boring is always much more expensive than wet boring and will require the use of casing at least 6-inches in diameter larger than the service pipe. Taking the utilities the long way would be the best scenario even if it would be the most expensive as that would allow at least three other businesses to tie on. Given that the City of La Porte has an ordinance against the use of wells, it is recommended that at least the water line should be taken the long way. Given the great importance on arresting subsidence in the greater Houston area, there is no scenario in which I could recommend the allowance of a water well.
