Re: Wylie Wastewater System
Dear Mr. Riehn:
We are enclosing statements on Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Wylie Wastewater
System which covers engineering services through February 28, 1989. The
total amounts approved for our services on this project was $162,500.00.
In the interest of completing plans for submission to the Texas Water
Commission, we continued working on this project after we had exceeded the
amount approved.
We have requested that the amount approved in our contract be increased to
provide for additional work beyond the original scope of services and
these statements are for your information.
Please advise if you need additional information.
Sincerely,
Ross L. Jacobs, P.E.

Some of these included alternates and following is a summary of these cost
estimates, together with the original construction cost estimate.
1. 15" Sanitary Sewer (Infrastructure Parallel System)
Initial Estimate $279,000 - Present $237,000
2. Steel Road with Decker Court
Initial Estimate $397,000 - Present $327,000
3. State Highway 78 (Steaks ever—Texas_►rea)
Initial Estimate $60,000 - Present $44,000
4. F.M. 1378 Force Main and Presidential Estate
Initial Estimate $341,000 - Present $462,000

Page No. 2
Phase II Total - Initial $1,188,000 - Present $1,738,000
Phase I Total - $ 300,000
Total $2,038,000
Engineering Initial Proposed
Basic Services $103,000 $195,000
Right-of-Way 28,000 25,000
Construction Staking 22,500 20,000
Loan Application 9,000 1,000
Total $162,500
$241,000
In addition to the enlargement of the overall project, we have spent time
on changes and studies required that were outside the original scope of
services. These are as follows:
a. Moving force main along F.M. 1378 because of conflict with an existing
water line.
b. Studies in regard to improvements at the existing Park Lift Station.
c. Analysis of options for service to the South Fork Mobile Home Park.
d. Surveying for railroad permit.
We estimate that charges for these services were approximately $14,000.00.
We have billed the following amounts through December 31, 1988:
Basic Services $133,147.37
Right-of-Way 16,626.19
Construction Staking 1,371.65
Total $151,145.21
We would like to meet with you to discuss increasing the amount authorized
for engineering. In setting up the total amount for these projects we
suggest you base this on the following:
Construction of Phase I & Phase II $2,038,000.00
Engineering 241,000.00
$2,279,000.00
To this should be added the amounts NTMWD requires for their administra-
tion of construction.
Sincerely,

Re: Wylie Wastewater System
Dear Mr. Riehn:
We have completed plans and specifications on Phase 2 of the Wylie
Wastewater System and these were submitted to the Texas Water Commission
on February 29, 1989. Their review comments are being incorporated into
the final plans. We have also provided these plans to NTMWD and the City
of Wylie for review.
Following is a list of easements required on the various lines and the
number of easements that have been furnished to the City of Wylie.
Number Number
Facility Required Furnished
Highway 78/Silverado (8" Gravity) 7 7
15-Inch Parallel Sewer 8 8
Steel Park Trunk Sewer 16 8
Southfork Mobile Home Force Main 5 5
F.M. 1378 Force Main 16 16
Twin Lakes Trunk Sewer 2 0
Twin Lakes 15-Inch Sewer 3 0
The remaining 13 easements should all be completed early next week.

During preparation of plans, it was determined that the recommendations
for improvements to the Park Lift Station, the Southfork Mobile Home Park,
and the force main to serve Presidential Estates would not produce
satisfactory results. We prepared alternate plans for review by NTMWD and
the City of Wylie. These changes plus an additional line along F.M.
Highway 544 increased the estimated construction cost for this project to
$2,080,000.00.
Construction on Phase 1 is essentially complete with only minor items of
cleanup and repair remaining to be done. The Phase 1 facilities are now
ready for use by the City.
Engineering charges for this work through February 28, 1989 is $197,809.91
and the total amount approved in the original agreement was $162,500.00.
We estimate that approximately $43,190.00 will be required to complete
preparation of easements and for administration during construction on
Phase 2. It is hereby requested that the maximum amount authorized for
engineering services be increased to $241,000.00.
We are available to discuss this at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Ross L. Jacobs, P.E.

Mr. Charles Norwood
City Manager
City of Wylie
P. 0. Box 428
Wylie, Texas 75098
Dear Charles:
I appreciated visiting with you last Thursday about Wylie and its growth
opportunities. We are delighted that you are the new city manager and I
know you are looking forward to getting your wife in the community and
establishing a permanent residence here.
You and I discussed the long range planning required so that a community
has the opportunity to grow with good street patterns, good access and
good city services, all of which are necessary for the orderly and proper
growth of the community.
About four years ago, the county, the city, Arapaho East and Centennial
Homes committed to the design and construction of what is known as Spring
Creek Parkway in Wylie. This will connect Hwy. 78 with Parker Road and
the extension of Spring Creek Parkway, as well as Park Boulevard coming east
out of Plano. Roy Wilshire of PAWA-Winkleman has long been a traffic
consultant for Collin County and these plans were worked out with the
engineers and the county a number of years ago. Funds from the 1983 bond
issue were earmarked and committed for the future development of this
thoroughfare and two prior city managers of the City of Wylie, Gus Pappas,
and John Pitstick, were well aware of the plans and both agreed to obtain
the necessary permits for the grade crossing of the Sante Fe Railroad and
the Southern Pacific Railroad. Right of way dedications from A. D. Boyd
and the Pendry Estate were agreed upon. The opportunity for right of way
acquisition and participation must not be lost. We are concerned that this
committment by the City of Wylie is not being met. It would be tragic if
the result of this planning and these actions are not completed. Centennial/
Arapaho Joint Venture has constructed the boulevard from Hwy. 78 up to the
railroad, waiting permission to cross. Centennial Boulevard, north of the
city hall, was constructed from the Parkway to Eubanks Lane. As you and I
discussed, the ramp from the city hall parking lot to the north needs to be
reworked so that all city vehicles will have access to Centennial Boulevard.
LAND AND PROPERTY INVESTMENTS

The other thing that we discussed was the annexation of the surface of
Lavon Lake by the City of Wylie and the implications imposed upon people
living on the Branch Peninsula and around the lake that are subject to the
ETJ requirements. It seems to me and from several discussions with the
city that there is no real plan for Wylie to annex these areas across the
lake and yet, the development and sale of property in those areas has been
restricted and limited as a result of this decision by the City of Wylie.
It appears that some understanding and modification of Wylie's position
needs to be discussed. People who are not in the city, and probably who
will never be in the city, need some relief from the restrictions that are
imposed by this action.
We would request a workshop session with the city council so that people
living on the Branch Peninsula, the Culleoka Water Board and the Princeton
Independent School representatives may at least have an opportunity to
discuss this matter with the Wylie City Council. I would appreciate knowing
of a date so that we can inform the people who would like to attend such a
work session.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and look forward to the growth
of Wylie and the surrounding area.
Yours very truly,
ARAPAHO EAST, INC.
