BACKGROUND
On May 30, 1980, (M&C G--4548), the City Council approved the 1980-81 CIP and
authorized the Transportation and Public Works Department to begin engineering
design for street and storm drainage improvements, including the design of
Cooks Lane from John T. White Road to Brentwood Stair.

(UNITJOHN T_ WHIT ROAD II
On August 18, 1980, (M&C C-5219), the City Council authorized the City Manager
to execute a contract with Rady and Associates, Inc. , for design services (City
Secretary Contract No. 11246).
The cost of the right-of-way required for this project exceeded the original
estimates and thus reduced the funds available for construction. Consequently,
on April 24, 1984, (M&C C-8344), the City Council authorized the reorganization
of the project for advertisement and construction in the following order as
construction funds permitted:
1. Cooks Lane-I.H. 30 Interchange (Unit I)
2. Cooks Lane from Brentwood Stair Road
to I.H. 30 Interchange (Unit II)
3. Cooks Lane from I.H. 30 Interchange to
John T. White Road (Unit III)
Unit II is complete, and Unit I is substantially complete. This M&C pertains to
Cooks Lane from I.H. 30 Interchange to John T. White Road (Unit III) only.

IMPROVEMENTS
This segment of Cooks Lane will be improved with 7" thick reinforced concrete
pavement with attached concrete curb and driveway approaches where required.
Storm drains will be constructed as part of the street improvements. There will
be two median openings (one standard and one directional) that have been re-
quested as part of the street construction by the affected property owners.
Their cost will be prepaid. In addition, required street lighting will be in-
stalled in a future contract, possibly utilizing city crews; however, adjacent
property owners will be assessed for the street lighting at this time based on
the engineer's estimate.

Bids for this project were received on May 22, 1986, after being advertised on
April 10, 17 and 24, 1986, with 70 working days allotted to complete the
