Box 3232 Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 Re: Parking Lots for Curran Hall Visitor Center Dear Mr. Travis: I haven't had any comments from you or the rest of the group since my letter of May 17`h, so we are assuming that the parking lot layouts are okay and we will send for Planning and Historic Commission approval. We did have a comment from our Planning Department that the interior islands on the Sixth and Ferry lot had to be enlarged to comply with the Landscape Ordinance and the driveway width had to be narrowed. Enclosed is a plan showing these changes. Please note that enlarging the islands caused us to lose one car parking space, so we now have 14. Also enclosed is our tentative schedule of key dates in order to meet your desired August I' opening. Although the schedule is lamely self-explanatory, take particular note that we plan to advertise the work on May 29` , open bids Rune 1 It", and award the contract on June 10'. This will allow Planning and Historic Commission approval before work begins and provide the contractor about 30-35 days to construct. This is an extremely tight schedule, but doable with a little luck. Landscaping and irrigation plans will not be ready by May 291h, so we will probably only initially bid the grading, parking lots and sidewalks. We don't foresee that to be a big problem, however, because the landscaping and irrigation usually trails this work. Finally, enclosed is a detailed estimate for the entire work of almost $268,000. We will need to know how the contractor will be paid prior to award. Give me a call if you have any questions or comments. Letter to Mr. Travis May 24, 2001 Page 2 i ly, aralson, P.E.
