Eric –
I have spoken with Clay, and we have made arrangements to get the advertisement out on Friday. Since Public Works is handling the dissemination of bid materials, the only reason I need
to look at the spec book is for quality control. If Clay is alright with accepting the spec as-is when it comes back from you guys, then there shouldn’t be any problems on my end.
If I could just get an updated copy of the spec book at some point here in the next week for our bid file, I should be covered.
Thanks,

Matt,
If I understood your first message correctly, you wanted to see an updated spec book by Noon today (Tuesday). Since we're just getting this information now, that deadline has already
passed.
Clay and I spoke late this afternoon about delivering drawings, spec books, and a CD to him by 4:59 pm on Thursday, April 29. As long as we make this deadline (and we will), will that
be acceptable?
Please let me know.
Eric

Clay –
Understood. I figured we might be on a tight timetable to get this published, so I reserved a spot in the Dallas Morning News to advertise it. I’ll put the advertisement out first
thing in the morning for a Friday publication date.

Clay –
I just received the Phase 1D specification packet, and had a chance to review it this afternoon. I had a just few questions:
1) Is this project ready to bid, or are there still tweaks being made? If the bid is finalized, I’ll need a completed, updated spec by tomorrow at noon to make a Friday publication
deadline. If it isn’t finalized yet, then we’d need to advertise no later than May 7 to make a bid opening of May 24, and would likely need to move the pre-bid meeting, currently scheduled
for next Thursday.
Currently we are scheduled to start the advertisement this Friday, April 30.
2) Bid number for this project should be 10-09. It looks as thought it hadn’t been updated at points throughout the spec.
Eric with Halff will get this corrected.
3) Item #3 on the advertisement needs to include the phrase “bid bonds need to be signed originals to be valid – no photocopied, faxed, or scanned copies will be accepted.”
Eric will include this.
4) Item #4 says that I am the distributor of plans and specs. I wanted to verify this is what you intended, since this would represent a departure from other Vitruvian Park bids.
Public Works would prefer to handle the distribution of the plans and specifications. I will speak with Eric about this and get it revised.
5) Item #8 has 972-450-7089 as a listed phone number. That should read 972-450-7090, and should probably include my name and title, as well.
Eric will take care of this.
Other than that, everything looks to be in order. Please let me know how I may be of any assistance.
