Walk-through on September 10, 1997
A walk through of the Village Parkway Pump Station Additions was conducted on September 10, 1997. In
attendance were:
Mr. Matt Cast, City of Coppell
Mr. Larry Davis, City of Coppell
Mr. Mike Daigre, North Texas Municipal Construction Co.
Mr. Bill Bigham, North Texas Municipal Construction Co.
Mr. Gary Hendricks, S.J.& F.
With the exception of the those items listed below, the punch list items published in the S.J. & F. memo to
Ken Griffin, dated August 28, 1997, have been completed to the City's satisfaction:
1. Handrail at the motor control center: Although NTMCC attached a handrail to the wall as requested, it
does not function well for the intended purpose. NTMCC agreed to move the ladder over approximately
6-8 inches in order to center the ladder between the left and right handrails. Matt Cast and Larry Davis
agreed to this solution.
2. The emergency kill switch in the pump control cabinets for pumps 5 and 6 still is not working properly.
It will de-energize the pumps while in the hand mode only. It did not function in the "auto" mode.
NTMCC agreed to correct the' problem.
3. There is still about 3/8" of standing water in the middle of the new driveway turn-out. Bill Bigham and
Larry Davis agreed that extending the concrete grinding work further up the drive would solve the
problem. NTMCC agreed to complete this work.
We also reviewed the SCADA system status and found a few problems. That work will be identified in a
punch list to be published at a later date.
