Original Document: Reference Documents: Text of Document: 2005 May 13 Ms. Judy Daugherty City of Parsons P.O. Box 128 Parsons, Tennessee 38363 Dear Judy: This is in response to your questions about buying asphalt using the County's unit price contract. As we agreed, this is legitimate. I am enclosing copies of the relevant sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated, T.C.A. 12-3-1004 and T.C.A. 12-3-1009. The best manner in which to proceed would be if the County mentions in its bid documents that the City may purchase asphalt at the unit prices presented in the bid proposals after the bid is awarded. Please let me know if MTAS can be of further assistance to Parsons in this or any other matter. Sincerely, Municpal Technical Advisory Service University of Tennessee John C. Chlarson, P.E.
