REQUESTS FOR MEDIAN CUTS AND 5EFT TURN LANES ON DENTON TAP ROAD
- CIP - SANDY LAKE ROAD TO DENTON CREEK (Revised 2-6-89 Memo)
In response to requests from property owners along Denton Tap Road, we
have prepared a change order for installing both median openings and left
turn lanes at the total expense of those requesting the work, including
the construction costs, engineering, testing and inspection. Also
included in this change order is the work needed to connect Parkway
Boulevard West with Denton Tap Road ($16,806.90).
The summary of costs and how they will be shared between ABQ Development
Company ($25,705.66), and Univest Development Company ($8,357.58), the
property owners, is attached. We have commitment letters on file and
these two property owners have been directed to submit their funds within
five (5) working days of the approval of this change order 'by the City
Council.
This action will accomodate the requests of these two property owners, and
in no way obligates the City of Coppell to limit land use or traffic
planning around these requested median openings. Having the City's
Contractor do this work now, provides a most efficient and cost effective
way of getting this work done with the C.I.P. Project, and not have to
interrupt and detour traffic at a later date, when this six (6) lane
thoroughfare is open to traffic.
The location of the median openings and left turn lanes are as follows:
Station 178 + 17.77
(Median Opening Part
of Project Design)
Location of the High School construction
Site Haul Road, identified as Lot 2 of the
Coppell High School Addition Plat, and the
location of Coppell Plaza Drive, the main
access for the Coppell Health Care Center.
Station 182 + 44
(New Opening)
Unidentified location just north of an
existing drive on the west side of Denton
Tap Road.
Station 186 + 98
(New Opening)
Location of existing drive just across from
Town Center on the west side of Denton Tap
Road.
Station 195 + 28
(New Opening)
A desired optimum location selected by AB0
Development for their properties on both
sides of Denton Tap Road, north of Parkway
Boulevard.
Please note that the total amount for this item, $47,773.50, on the agenda
request sheet, is a construction figure only and is arrived at by adding
$30,966.40 (total construction costs to be received from AB(} and Univest),
and $16,806.90 (the construction costs for connecting Parkway Boulevard
West Extension), for a total construction cost of $47,773.30.
Also, please note that the figure "Amount Over Budget", or $35,899.33, on
the agenda request sheet is not solely related to this change order, but
is related to the project being previously under budget, $11,873.97.
