TOTAL BID AMOUNT

UtiliTex — Civil Utilities

The Engineer's Estimate was $2,300,000 with no contingency added.
Horseshoe Construction has submitted a experience record with references for those particular
projects. Most of the experience they reported was from the Houston area.
I contacted two of the local cities that Horseshoe has had projects with recently:
City of Keller, Chad Bartee, PE.
Chad said that Horseshoe is working on several projects as part of a maintenance
contract. He said they do good work, very responsive to the City and to residents, kept
project areas clean and were easy to work with.
City of Mesquite, Jim Palmer, PE.
Jim said he had recently completed three separate contracts with Horseshoe and he
would welcome them to bid more projects. He said they were easy to work with and
responsive.
Although Burgess & Niple has not completed a pipe bursting project recently with Horseshoe,
we find no reason based on the references we contacted that would disqualify Horseshoe from
being awarded the project. Therefore, we recommend that Horseshoe Construction be awarded
this project.
If you have any questions concerning the contract recommendation, please call.
Sincerely,
Burgess & Niple, Inc.
