Mr. Daigh,

After meeting with the contractor, we have negotiated and agreed upon a new final change order amount of $323,415.70.  The Union Pacific observation and flagging costs are an additional $50,000, for a total project completion cost of $373,415.70.  We currently have approximately $120,000 remaining in the project budget, resulting in a project shortfall of $253,415.70.   The City of Granger requests the help of Williamson County to help offset these costs if possible.  We thank you for any help you can provide.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
