Re: Village Parkway Pump Station
City of Coppell, Texas
Dear Mr. Hirschey: /
We wish to take exception to Mr. Durbin's letter of February' 9,
1989 regarding the tapping sleeve to be used on the 16" waterline
at Kimbal Kourt and Sandy Lake Road. No tapping sleeve has ever
been submitted or approved for use at this location. Submittal
No. 4A covered only the 16" tapping valve.
Our clarification to Mr. Durbin was that a cut-in tee could not
be used at this location; therefore, a tapping sleeve would be
required as shown on the plans. Since the line was concrete
cylinder pipe, he should make the necessary arrangements to
properly tap the line.
Our records do not indicate advising Cajun that the 16" waterline
was ductile iron. We have not approved any ductile iron fittings
for this hot tap.
Upon receipt of a submittal indicating the desired fittings to be
used for this tie-in, we will review for compliance with the
plans and specifications.
At this time, we do not see any reason for an extension or delay
of contract time.
Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
/
Sanford W. Case, P.E.
