conjunction with the 69 kV Upgrade Project, will be provided to the City of Denton upon request 6.0 Schedule A proposed project summary bar chart schedule is included in this section The proposed schedule assumes a project start date of mid March 1998 Line design, design drawings and preparation of procurement and construction bid documents are scheduled to be completed by the end of July Allowing time for bid preparation, bidding, bid evaluation and contract award, we anticipate having a contract in place by mid October This will allow the Contractor four or more months to purchase materials and have them delivered, including long lead items such as the steel structures Construction and construction management would be scheduled to begin in early February and be completed by early May 1999 This schedule has some flexibility By completing design earlier and reducing the time between bid issue and contract award, project completion could be moved to late March or early April However, wet weather conditions in the winter months could affect construction progress 12 AeW -- - - - - - ludy q� Zfi — — -- - 4pAW qej uer AON IdeS Alnr -- -- - -- - aunt— --- — — - 6eW '
