Re: Coppell Town Center
Project No. 8457
Dear Mr. Powell:
We are in a very touchy situation as far as time delays on this project,
and money over-runs. In an effort to circumvent both of these costly
situations, I want to remind you once again that critical decisions
must be made on certain proposed changes that have been on your desk for
some time now.
The Contractor and myself had a meeting Wednesday, March 5th at the
jobsite and again they asked me the status of these proposed changes.
At that point I was not able to give the Contractor any information, and
the Contractor informed me that they have to continue construction per
contract documents, unless a written stop work order is received. The
Contractor pointed out that the longer we wait, the more money possibly
will be involved to redo or change any situation, Therefore, I am
requesting any information pertaining to any proposed changes, specifically
the hot items are:
1. The status of the 'vaUl~. We must know this as soon as possible due
to hollow metal frame and door fabrication, lead times of up to eight
weeks.
2. The computer room area at a cost of $3,310.00 which is Proposal Request
No. 13 from the Architect and Proposal Change No. 35 from the Contractor.
You have a copy of this.
3. A third hot item and one I must recommend be accepted is the window
the Police Station. You also have a copy of that. This window would
be needed to monitor the lobby and secure the movement of people in
the after hours up to the library spaces.

Any other items such as the two extra bunks per holding cell that
were priced at a cost of $936.00 for the installation of all four
back in December, need to be decided upon. I might add that that
cost will be somewhat higher since the quote was made over three months
ago.
If any other proposed changes need to be made, or accepted from the
ones you already have, please notify our office as soon as possible
so that we may implement these changes into the project without any
further delays.
If I may of any assistance on this or any other matter, please don't
hesitate to call.
