MEMORANDUM
TO Commissioners' Court
FRU1Vl: Leonard Odom, Jr., County Road Administrator
DATE May 26, 1992
RE Reconstruction of Ranchero Road
The bid for the reconstruction of Ranchero Road from Highway 16 to Nimitz
School was opened this morning, and is to be awarded or rejected today.
The Court set aside $100,000 in the Special Projects Annual Budget for this
project. Federal Emergency Management Assistance (FEMA) allowed us
another $45,500 for the severe damage caused by the heavy winter rains.
Phase I, the French Drain bid, was awarded May 11, 1992, for $29,130, leaving
a total of $11b,370. There may not be enough funds to complete the project
and time is critical.
During a public meeting, citizens expressed	concerns over	the realignment of
the roadway. They asked that we take equal	land (5 ft.) on	each	side from the
right-of--way instead of the engineered 10 ft	on one side.	The	increased cost
of the project to do this would be $17,000 -	$20,000. The	only	time to
address their concerns is now -- this work must be done while	school is out
for the summer			
I ask the Court to consider their request, and appropriate additional funds so
the project might be awarded today.
