to the City of Coppell and to Weir Bros., Inc.
2. I gave copies of the Notice to Proceed to Weir Bros.,
Inc., Baker-Shiflett, Inc., Brittain & Crawford and the

advised me that he will remove his cattle from the site
on Monday - November 27, 1989. He will begin to take

4. I told Weir Bros. that some revisions have been made to
the project that was bid and that the bid plans are no
longer valid. No grading or clearing shall be
performed within 15 feet of the north and easterly
property line of the Borrow Area or within 10 feet of
the east Right-of-Way line of Denton Tap Road in the
fill area unless directed otherwise by the City of
Coppell or the Engineer. The project should be
constructed in accordance with plans given to the
contractor at the meeting. These plans are similar to
the plans mailed to the contractor, property owners,
and the City of Coppell on November 16, 1989 and
approved by the City of Coppell on November 22, 1989.
5. Larry Davis advised the contractor that Weir Bros.
should notify the City in writing if the contractor
intends to work on weekends or holidays. The
contractor is responsible for payment of City of
Coppell overtime charges for inspection services on
weekends or holidays.
6. In the Fill Area, no material should be placed in the
existing swale which generally flows in a southeast
direction south of the Coppell City Hall. This swale
should be undisturbed, in accordance with construction
plans.
7. The construction start date is November 28, 1989. The
contract time is 30 calendar days. Construction
completion should occur no later than December 27,
1989, to be in compliance with the contract.
8. All fill shall be placed in accordance with the
contract and tested. It is the contractor's
responsibility to inform the soils engineer when fill
operations will be underway so that density tests can
be performed.
9. Brittain & Crawford will stake limits of the borrow and
fill areas and provide vertical control to the
contractors' surveyors. Weir Bros. shall inform Jerry
Parche' Consulting Engineers when final grade is
achieved in the borrow area so that we may notify
Brittain & Crawford to proceed with verification of the
excavated grades.
