RACH, 4706 Parkcrest, appeared in opposition to any change of name of Parkcrest, as there had been an employee of the City contacting the property owners asking them to agree to changing the street name. Councilman Palmer explained to Mr. Rach that there had been petitions asking that Bull Creek Road, Balcones Drive and Parkcrest Drive be changed, as there was confusion of the addresses. The Director of Public Works stated his Department had been calling on the property owners on Parkcrest between Balcones Drive and Balcones Trail asking them if they would be willing to have the street changed to Balcones Drive; and out of the 16 contacted only three were unwilling to have it changed at this particular time, but would be willing after the first of the year. He stated the Post Office Department had contacted him about getting the addresses straightened out, as there was difficulty in finding those on Old Bull Creek Road and Bull Creek Road. Mr. Rach still objected to Parkcrest being changed, and stated his whole neighborhood objected. The Mayor stated this matter would be postponed until after the first of the year, and that nothing would be done until then except a continuation of polling the people.

Tuesday, November 10, 1959. Attached tabulation of bids made by Mr. A. M. Eldridge, Supervision Engineer, Construction Engineering Division. "Attached is a complete, detailed tabulation of bids received on the subject.project. You will note that the bid documents are in the form of three proposals. Proposal "A" covers the construction of extensions to the existing main plant, Proposal "B" covers the construction of a chlorine contact tank and Proposal "C" covers the construction of all items under both Proposals "A" and "B". (Proposal "C" is actually a combination of Proposals "A" and "B"). You will also note that Proposals "A" and "C" list a number of alternates for equipment manufactured by reputable manufacturers other than those called for in the base bid. "You will note that the H. B. Zachry Company, San Antonio, Texas, base bid for Proposal "C", in the amount of $612,850.00 is the lowest combined base bid. You will also note that the H. B. Zachry Company bid shows a $500.00 deduction for acceptance of Alternate Item No. 1, a; which alternate is in accordance with our specifications. Other alternates offered in the H. B. Zachry Company bid are either higher than the base bid or do not meet the specifications. Acceptance of Alternate Item No. 1, a, will reduce the H. B. Zachry Company bid to $612,350.00. "It is, therefore, my recommendation that the contract for the subject project be awarded to the H. B. Zachry Company, San Antonio, Texas on their low combined bid in the amount of $612,350.00 with 360 calendar days allowed for construction. "Our Consulting Engineers, The Marvin Turner Engineers, concur in this recommendation. Copy of their recommendation is attached hereto. "Respectfully submitted, (Sgd) A. H. Ullrich "Note: The expansion planned under the subject project will increase our main plant by 50 per cent. The operation of the holding tank at Canterbury Lift Station has helped make the existing plant capacity about 20 million gallons per day. The flows which we are now receiving average .... 981 981 = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS about 16.6 million gallons per day, with peak days approaching the existing plant capacity. With present operating methods completion of this project will increase our main plant capacity to about 30 million gallons per day.
