Re: Request for Oversize Participation Expenditures
Castlegate H Subdivision, Section 102
Dear Ms. Singh:
Schultz Engineering, LLC
Office: 979.764.3900

With this letter we wish to initiate a request for Oversize Participation by the City of College
Station for the 12" water line being installed with Section 102 of the Castlegate H
Subdivision. This water line was designed to comply with the City's Water Master Plan.
The construction plans for the water system are included with this submittal for your review.
They show approximately 338 linear feet of 12" water line routed through Section 102.
In the attached Water System Report, the water system has been modeled using an 8" water
line as the main line. The model demonstrates that the system performs above minimum
standards using the 8" line as the main line. We conclude that anything larger than an 8"
line can be considered oversized.
Also, included with this submittal is an estimated cost of the water system using 12" lines
and another using 8" lines. The difference in construction cost between the two line sizes
and the related fittings is $8,306. We believe this is a conservative number and that the
actual construction costs should not exceed that figure. I also estimate a cost of $4,000 for
the performance and payment bonds. The total Oversized Participation request is $12,306.
This figure is approximately 20% of the overall water system cost and is well below the
threshold limit of 30%, where competitive bidding becomes a requirement.
We ask that you review this submittal and let us know what subsequent steps we need to
take to move forward with this request.
Sincerely,
Schultz Engineering, LLC.
