"Notice of intention to issue City of Grapevine, Texas Combination Tax and Tax
cay Increment Reinvestment Zone Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2000"
BACKGROUND:
The First Phase of Public Improvements consists of the main entrance road into the site
from State Highway 26, the 500 foot bridge over the Silverlake branch of Lake
Grapevine, intersection improvements and traffic signals at SH 26, the main water trunk
line serving the hotel site, ROW irrigation and landscaping. This particular package
needs to be in place before the Supplemental Public Improvements package is begun.
The Supplemental Public Improvements package will include improving Ruth Wall from
Northwest Highway to the hotel site, a box culvert and raised roadway through the low
area north of Wildwood Drive, the Opryland lift-station, force-main and Trencor trunk
line, and the continuation of the hotel site water trunk line. This project is anticipated to
begin in late 2000 or early 2001, based upon the progress of the First Phase Project.
The engineer's estimate for this First Phase package is $ 5,983,694.
