Trying not to sound harsh but no on splitting the cost on the Business signs. I am fairly confident that your sign shop can do them a whole lot cheaper than we can. Lee M. Halencak, P.E.

The point being, the posted speed through the work zone is 40 MPH. This is only a suggestion to you, you are responsible for the safety of your workers and the traffic through the work zone. We are not requiring you to add these signs it is only a suggestion. I will get back with you on the other signs. Though they are not explicitly shown in the plans, this type of sign is typical in a road closure urban setting. What if we were to split the cost of the signs, you pay for the two on Sandy Lake, due to the road closure and we pay for the two on Denton Tap? Thank You, George George Marshall, PE City of Coppell Engineering file://C:\Documents and Settings\radloo\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4C068A29City_...6/30/2010 Page 2 of 3 972-304-3562 >>> "Lee Halencak" <lee@bowmanconstruction.com> 6/2/2010 4:02 PM >>> George, During our meeting yesterday I understood that the “Business Remain Open” signs would be fabricated and installed by the City. These are information signs and not part of traffic control. There is no mention in the plans that this type of sign would be required. We can supply these signs as directed for a cost of $175 EA. Also the consideration of suggestive speed reduction signs is also a informational sign. It would need to say “Please Reduce Speed”. These signs also run $175 EA. For these two information signs there are total of 8. So the price would run $1400. Let me know if you want us to supply these signs. Thanks Lee M. Halencak, P.E.

If you get any push back from Traffic, tell Bowman to put the signs up and we'll have Leslie do a change order to Bowman next week. We need the signs up before Monday. Ken g -----Original Message----- From: George Marshall To: Ken Griffin <KGRIFFIN@coppelltx.gov> Sent: 6/2/2010 4:32:35 PM Subject: MA10-01 Ken, It looks like Bowman wants $175 per sign on the "Businesses Remain Open" signs. 4 signs for $700. I will check with Per in the morning how much it might cost us to create these signs. I was thinking that the wording is fairly generic so we could try to make the signs and reuse them on future jobs, maybe include the logo.
