RE: RE: Crossing Agreement
The agreement is between the city of Coppell and the FWWR. I emailed a copy
of the agreement to Mr. Phillips. The agreement states any necessary
railroad flagging provided by the railroad will be a rate of $80/hour, 8
hour minimum. Work over 8 hours will be billed at time and one half.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Marty,
Unfortunately my hands are tied on this issue. Portions of these charges
are more than 120 days past due, and it has become a nuisance to several
city departments.
Disputing the days and hours worked with me is meaningless, as the city is
not the one assessing the charges. If you are correct in your assertion
that JRJ did not request flagmen, and was in fact not working on those days,
I hope you will continue to dispute these charges.

I forwarded you the last response I had from them, last week. In the
mean time I have gone back to verify the dates they have listed on these
bills and we were not even working on all but one of these days. I do
not find it justifiable for you to deduct money form our contract that
has not been verified as of yet. I have expressed my concerns about this
bill from day one, now I am telling you we were not onsite for the days
they are charging for. this should be reason enough to not withhold
money until this is resolved. I am awaiting their response from my last
email to them.

Marty,
I didn't hear anything else about these flagging charges. Have you come
to an agreement with the Railroad?
If not, I will process your current invoice less the amount owed to the
RR.

Attached you will see that I am awaiting for them to get back with me
which has not happened to date. Per your email below you say you have
invoices for $74,377.97? I do not have a total amount that high.

Marty,
Have you had any further discussions with FWWR concerning these flagging
charges? They are now contacting our City Manager directly.
I am still holding invoice number 9 in the amount of $74,377.97. The
city does not intend to hold this invoice much longer, but we need to
have a resolution to this issue. If JRJ is not able to settle the issue
with FWWR by April 30, 2010 the city will withhold the $7,180 due from
this invoice, and process the balance for payment. The city will then
make payment to FWWR from project funds.
Please let me know by 4/30/10 whether you have come to an agreement with
the railroad.

Charles,
It is my understanding that our contractor, JRJ, is obligated to pay for
the crossing reconstruction including the expenses associated with these
invoices which apparently pay someone $640/day to monitor the site for
trains that might require the clearing of construction workers. Keith
Marvin on our staff is th eprimary contact person. I also understand
that you or representatives of FWWR are having discussions regarding
this issue with JRJ. It is the City's intention to hold the contractor
to their obligation and pay for all costs associated with the crossing
reconstruction.
Please contact Keith Marvin at kmarvin@coppelltx.gov to discuss the
details of the issue further. Feel free to contact me directly if
necessary.
