Re:
Denton Tap Road Improvements
from Belt Line Road to Sandy Lake Road
Dear Mr. Hinckley:
I greatly appreciate your letter and photographs of April 21,
1989 concerning damages to the drives and sprinkler systems at
Town Oaks Centre. We are directing L.H. Lacy Company, the
Contractor, to address your specific concerns by copy of this
letter.
The issues regarding backfill behind the curb are getting our
specific attention since we have had similar experiences to yours
on other projects with other Contractors.
It is our understanding that the brick pavers in the driveways
will be repaired or replaced as necessary during the time frame
in which the Contractor is installing similar pavers at the
intersections on this project.
The completion date for this contract is June 14, 1989. We do
not know of the Contractor's specific schedule for clean-up in
front of your shopping center, but request of him by copy of this
letter to contact both you and I in this regard.
If we can be of further assistance, please call.
Sincerely,
John C. Karlsruher, P.E.
