Re: Village Parkway Pump Station
Dear Mr. Hirschey:
We are in receipt of your June 27, 1989 letter requesting a change order for
the relocation of an 8" water main at Station 26+94. We wish to point out
several items.
Section 00830, Paragraph 1.11 of the Contract Documents states that in the
event of a physical conflict with performance of the work, it shall be the
Contractors responsibility to anticipate such conflicts and give advance
notice thereof to the owners of the utility. The section further states that
the Contractor shall be responsible for the relocation of the utility and no
extra claims for compensation will be allowed unless approved in writing prior
to the relocation.
In regards to the above mentioned conflict, our office was first notified at
9:40 A.M. on June 1, 1989. Your pipe laying operations were one joint away at
that time. The waterline in question is shown on the plans at Station 26+85.
All stationing on the plans is baseline stationing. Your referenced
stationing is centerline of the pipe. On the plans, it clearly says "verify"
on the 8" waterline.
At approximately 10:00 A.M., Mr. Durbin notified our office that he intended
to use 45° bends to relocate the 8" over the 36". It is difficult to consider
twenty minutes as adequate advance notice for the utility owner to evaluate
alternatives or relocate the facilities. At approximately 11:30 A.M., I
visited the site to review the conflict. At that time, the 8" line had been
cut and preparation was underway to install the bends.
On several occasions, we have discussed advance verification of utilities with
your project superintendent· Once again, this important item was left until
the last minute. On the basis of these facts, we are unable to recommend
approval of your request.
We would be happy to review any additional information which you might have
regarding this matter. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
· Case, P.E.

RE: Village Pkwy Pump Station
Gentlemen:
In accordance with our previous notification of ~ou and pe~ our
June 2~ 1~8~ on site meetinE at the above referenced
Ga~un Contractors, Inc. encountered an actual condition at the
~obsite which differed substantially f~om what was shown in the
Contract D~awinEs. The 8" waterline shown on Sheet ~8 of 4~
Eiven the location of Station 2~ + 8~, elevation 441.~ at the
point the new ~" watermain crosses it. Ca~un Contractors, Inc.
excavated this 8" line to find it located at Station 2~ + ~4~
elevation 4~8.2 at the point the new ~" watermain crosses it.
The elevation o~ the ~" waterman at this point is 4~.~ which
obviously in the same horizontal plain of the subject 8"
waterline. Consequently, either the 36" PCCP watermain or the 8"
PVC waterline had to be rerouted to allow for this new
installation.
After contacting both Oinn, Inc. and The City of Coppell Utility
Department and after thorough investigation of the available
alternative measures, Cajun established as the most economical
and expeditious measure the re,outing of the 8" PVC waterline.
This additional work was accomplished over a two day period
commencing June 1, 1989 after purchasin~ the piping and
miscellaneous materials necessar~ to remove and reroute the
waterline over the 36" main.
~iven these differing conditions, in accordance with Section Six
of the Contract Documents entitled "Extra Work and Claims"~ Cajun
respectfully requests a change order in the amount of $2,907.00
as compensation for the above described work. A detailed cost
breakdown listed below and backup information is attached for
your information.
