The 1964 Edition of the Long Range Capital Improvement Program provides for
the connection of Bishop Street with Wichita at the intersection of Vaughn
Boulevard, as shown on the attached map. The project will route Bishop
through a structure on the Poly Freeway being constructed by the Texas High-
way Department, and provide needed traffic channelization and circulation at
the convergence of the heavily traveled roadways.
The project includes the following street construction:
1) Bishop Street: From Vaughn Boulevard to Emerson Street.
2) Vaughn Boulevard: Beginning at a point 177 feet southeast of the
south line of Reed Street to the north line of
Lot 13, Block 6, Meadowlawn Addition.
3) Wichita Street: From Vaughn Boulevard southwest approximately
273 feet.
Bids have been received on the project as follows :
Bidder Amount Working, Des
W. E. Brittain Inc. $ 44,221.00 60
Te4as Bitulithic Company 46,565.00 45
General Construction Company 46,984.00 60
S.R.O. Asphalt, Inc. 47,925.00 60
Glade Construction Company 48,616.10 82
Based on, the low bid, approximately $3,301.91 will be assessed against
abutting property owners. The assessments reflect special benefits to the
owners of lots 7A and 8A and 7B and 8B, Meadowlawn Addition, Messrs . G. V.
Wilson and Clay B. Harris, respectively, who were deeded the parcels by the
C'ty in exchange for right-of-way for the project on March 16, 1964 (M&C L-350).
A that time, it was recognized that the adjacent commercially zoned properties
wo ld be benefited "by the acquisition of the residue lots# zoned B-2 Family,
w 'Fh were too small to be used except in conjunction with abutting property,
a '-which would not have added materially to the value of remaining City-owned
re idue. Assessments on 7A, 7B, 8A, and 8B have been computed using the resi-
de tial rate, but waiving the shallow lot credits in view of the benefits to
th property by virtue of the adjacent properties under common ownership. Ad-
ditional detail regarding the assessments is provided in Attachment "A."
The cost of the improvements to the city-at-large will be approximately
$45,341.19. Including engineering and miscellaneous expenses, the total esti-
mated cost of the project will be $48,643.10.
