Dear Ms. Czarnecki:
Per your request, we are submitting two sets of Construction
Plans and a brief narrative on the above referenced projects for
your review. Please note that landscaping of the 4.95 acre tract
will be done as a separate project at the conclusion of the water
facility construction. The preparation of the Landscaping Plan
is currently underway and will be submitted for the Association's
review as soon as possible.
We would be happy to meet with the Review Committee to answer any
questions which they may have regarding these projects. Brick
and shingle samples can also be made available for review.
These facilities have been designed to comply with the highest
standards of appearance and workmanship found in both the City of
Coppell's public facilities and the Lakes of Coppell's
developments. Please let us know if we can be of further
assistance with this matter.
Sincerely,
Case, P.E.

VILLagE PARI~AY PUMP STATION AND RESERVOIR
CITY OF COPPELL~ TEX~S
PROJECT NARI~.~TIVE
~UNE ?~ ~9~9
In December 1987, the City of Coppell acquired a 4.95 acre site
on the southeast corner of Village Parkway and Kimbel Kourt from
Sunbelt Savings Association for the construction of water storage
and pumping facilities. Design was initiated at that time by
Ginn, Inc. Consulting Engineers for the proposed pump station and
water storage reservoir. Due to the specialty nature of the
proposed construction, separate Contract Documents, Plans, and
Specifications were developed for each project.
Bids were received by the City on July 12, 1988 for the Village
Parkway Reservoir. Four alternate designs were bid: 4 MG Tank
with a Flat Roof; 4 MG Tank with a Dome Roof; 5 MG Tank with a
Flat Roof; 5 MG Tank with a Dome Roof. After review of the bids,
the City Council awarded a contract on August 3, 1988 to Preload
Construction Company, Inc. of Garden City, New York for the
construction of a 4 MG tank with a dome roof. The amount of the
contract was $2,088,750.00.
The 4 MG reservoir is a prestressed, wire wound, concrete tank
with a diameter of ±152 feet with and a wall height of 31'-2%".
The maximum water height within the tank is 29'-6". The dome has
a rise of 1:10 yielding a maximum height of ±47 above the
finished floor (Elevation 453.0). The tank is constructed on a
30" thick structurally reinforced slab supported by 219-20"
diameter drilled concrete piers. Each pier is approximately 37'
in length.
For architectural treatment, the tank has 16 brick pilasters
which are each 6 feet wide and will match the pump station brick.
The brick will be Eureka Blend #38 Modular Face Brick. This is a
solid color dark reddish-brown brick. Solomon Grind-Chem #37A
additive will be used to achieve a dark brown mortar for
blending. All exposed concrete surfaces of the tank will be
primed with Thoroseal (gray) and then coated with one coat of
Thorocoat (#8598, Cocoa).
Bids were received by the City on November 4, 1988 for
construction of the Village Parkway Pump Station. After review
of the bids, the City Council awarded a contract on December 13,
1988 to Cajun Contractors, Inc. of Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the
amount of $2,336,772.00.
The Village Parkway Pump Station will be a 5,122 SF, split level
structure constructed of CMU's with 100% brick veneer. The brick
will be Eureka Blend #38 Modular Face Brick. Eureka #250 Smooth
Modular Face Brick (solid dark brown) will be used for accenting
certain layers. The exact brick pattern is shown on Sheet A-2
(14 of 36) in the Construction Plans. As with the tank, Solomon
Grind-Chem #37A additive will be used in the mortar for blending.
Cast stone insets will be used above all windows and doors.

DALLAS, TEXAS PROJECT NO. 380 CITY OF COPPELL, TEXAS
The pump station roof will have a 6:12 pitch. The roofing
material will be "Supra-Slate" slate shingles manufactured by
Supradur Corporation. The slate shingles will provide an
extremely attractive and elegant appearance in addition to its
durability and 25 year warranty. The shingle color will be
Pennsylvania Gray. Exterior trim colors have been selected to
blend to the roof and/or brick. Three dormers for ventilating
the pumping equipment are located to face the rear of the tract.
They will be blended to match the roof color.
The pump station is designed on a 60 foot setback from Village
Parkway. The main level of the station has a finished floor
elevation of 454.0 which is approximately 2 feet above the
existing curb. Access is obtained from a circular concrete drive
off of Village Parkway. Service and equipment entrances are
located on the lower level (Elevation 450.0) and are screened
from Village Parkway by a 4 foot retaining wall and a 6 foot
brick and iron fence. All parking is on the lower level.
Two types of fencing will be used on the tract. Along Village
Parkway and down the northeastern side, a decorative brick and
iron fence will be used. All other sides will be fenced using a
PVC coated 6' high chain link fabric with three strands of barbed
wire. This type of fencing is required by Texas Department of
Health regulations for public water facilities. The fence color
will be green. Landscaping will be used to soften the appearance
of the fencing. The chain link fence will be inset 40' from the
property line along Kimbel Kourt the drainage easement to the
south. A variance from the Board of Adjustments has been
obtained for the chain link fence.
Site grading has been planned so that all facilities will be
above the ultimate 100 year flood plus 2 feet. Offsite drainage
from adjacent tracts is accommodated through the drainage
easement and a small swale to the east of the reservoir.
The landscape plan currently under design will provide for
perimeter landscaping and irrigation of the entire 4.95 acres in
addition to the pump station proper. The Landscaping Guidelines
for the Lakes of Coppell will be utilized in the design.
