Origin of Project
On November 5, 1980 (M&C G-4750), the City Council authorized the Director of
of Transportation and Public Works to proceed with the design of priority local
residential streets of which Rivercrest Drive (West Seventh to Monticello) and
Westview Avenue (West Fifth to Monticello} were included as priority 11 and 7,
respectively.
There is also a need to improve an additional block of Rivercrest Drive from
Monticello to White ;Settlement Road as well as the segment (2 blocks) of
~ Monticello Drive from ,Virginia Place to Rivercrest Drive. On August 18, 1981
(M&C C-5826), the City Council awarded an engineering contract to the firm of
Mandell and Hiller, Inc., to prepare plans and specifications for this project
to include the additional street segments outlined abcive.
Improvements
Units I and III Improvements will consist of resurfacing the entire roadways
with spot base repair and minor replacement of deteriorated curb and gutter.
No assessments are proposed on these units since ,gall curb and gutter and
driveway approaches are existing.
Unit II Improvements will consist of reconstructing the existing pavement and
base as well as constructing new curb and gutter, plus driveway approaches
where required. Assessments are proposed for curb and gutter and/or gutter only
as well as driveway approaches where none now exist.

Receipt of Bids
The project was advertised for bids on January 6 and 13, 1983, and the
following bids were received on January 27, 1983, with 55 working days allotted
to complete the project.
Bidder Amount
Harrod Paving Company, Inc. $263,168.00
L. Grimes & Company, Inc. 280,766.85
Stolaruk Corp. 281,118.66
Austin Road Company 295,804.70

APAC-Texas, Inc. 310,571.46
Assessments and Financing
Standard City policy in effect at the time this project was brought to the
attention of the property owners stated that under street reconstruction,
residentially zoned property would not be assessed any portion of the cost
except for non-existing curb and gutter and/or gutter only and driveway
approaches. Units I, III and IV of this project have all existing facilities,
consequently the only assessments proposed are on Westview Avenue, Unit II.
Adjacent property owners will be assessed for curb and gutter and/or gutter
only, plus driveway approaches where none now exist. The assessment rate is
based on one-half the normal rate in that the street being improved is at the
rear of all the properties. Such assessments amount to approximately
$9,403.34. This amount will be provided for by a bond fund transfer from the
"Revolving Fund Unspecified" account. Cost to the City for Unit II is
$117,380.16, plus $12,678.35 (10~) engineering. Cost to the City for all Units
is approximately $253,764.66, plus $26,316.80 (10%) engineering. Bond fund
transfers are required from "General Residential Streets Unspecified" account
for the City's construction cost and from the "Engineering Unspecified" account
to supplement the engineering funds in the project account.
