My name is Chris Moore and I am the owner of Great Beginnings University located in
the city of Kennedale. We have been in operations for 4 years. We provide a loving,
caring, stable learning environment for children ages 6 weeks — 13 years. I feel that this
project will help to represent the city in a more presentable way.
Due to the increased traffic flow at our facility we have developed some issues with the
entrance to our driveway, the driveway itself and the parking area. I have attempted to fix
theses problems on my own but am now at a point where I must put it in the hands of a
professional. I am requesting a functional city grant to help with the expense to this
project in the amount of $2,142.86. I have had several companies come out to bid the job
and have decided to go with Diamond B Fence & Concrete. The cost of the project is
$15,000.00.
The city of Kennedale has grown quite a bit over the years and continues to grow each
day. This growth has brought many families into our community as well as the need for
quality childcare. Because we are the only childcare center in the Kennedale it is
important to us that we represent our city in the best possible way. With proper
maintenance and improvements Great Beginnings University will be doing just that.
EXP 1
At the entrance we will be extending the concrete to eliminate a large reoccurring dip.
This dip has caused customers cars to bottom out on occasion.
EXP2
The driveway will need to be graded out and rock will be added to define the area as
being suited for 2 -way traffic and eliminate dips.
EXP 3
The parking area will be graded out and additional rock will be added allowing sufficient
parking for the customers. This will also eliminate the standing water after rainfall at the
sidewalk entrance to the building.
Upon completion of this project the customers will have a much smoother drive in as
well as a more defined safer area to park when dropping their children off.

Nellie R. Stevens Holly is one o f the best Hollies
fad the warmer reg o the co untry, andis ideally
suited for use as a screen or border. It maintains a
nice, uniform shape without pruning. It is now
Page 3
becoming widely available and is one of the best
plants for malting a screen due to its very dense,
symmetrical habit. Locate it where it will have
enough spa to spread sinc trees be come wide at the
base. Lower branches can be removed to create a
clear trunk for planting along a walls or near a patio,
but the tree real s hine s a s a specimen or screen
allowe to de v_elop_with_a ll bra i t o t
ground. Nursery operators grow the tree either as a
multi-stemmed clump or with one central leader.
Multi- stemmed trees may not hold up in ice storms as
well as those with a central leader. Main branches on
single - leadered trees are usually well- secured to the
trunk, making the tree sturdy a nd a permanent fixture
for almost a an sc ape:
Nellie R. Stevens Holly should be grown in full
sun or partial shade on well - drained, slightly acid soil.
Plants are drought - resistant once established.
Propagation is by cuttings or grafting.
Pests and Diseases
No pests or diseases are of major concern, perhaps
scale on occasion.
