RE:
JP No, 88023; Site Grading; P~rkway BouXevard and
High School Access Road; Coppe11, Texas
Dear Ms. White:
Enclosed is a copy of the Final Payment request received from
James Arnold Construction for grading work performed for street
subgrades in Parkway Boulevard and the High School Access Road in
the Parks of Coppell, Coppell, Texas. The total Amount of Work
Done includes the Contract Amount of $17,786,00 and the
additional amount of $336.00 authorized in my letter to the
contractor of March 14, 1989. This additional amount is due to
an increase in subgrade levels required by the paving
contractor's decision to use 6-inch concrete pavement in both
roadways rather than 7-inch pavement originally planned in the
High School Access Road and S-inch pavement originally planned in
Parkway Boulevard. Use of 6-inch pavement substantially reduces
street paving costs.
We have reviewed the grading in the roadways provided by the
contractor. Subgrade levels have been verified by field survey
and are within 0.1 feet of proposed grade. All compaction tests
results are in compliance with specifications. The work was
completed prior to the contract due date and the contractor has
left the sit9 in a neat and orderly condition.
I am not aware of any objections to the work from the City of
Coppe11. However, by copy of this letter, I request that City
Inspectors inform me if there is any reason that all or a portion
of this final payment request should be withheld.
The contractor's request is somewhat irregular since, in
accordance with Section lB, Paragraph 8 of the contract, upon
completion of the work the contractor should submit an invoice
for 95%' of the contract amount. However, James Arnold
Construction has completed the work and requests'full payment.
Unless some valid objection is brought to our attention within a
week of the date of this letter, full payment of $5,264.60 is
recommended.
