Re: Village Parkway Pump Station Addition
Repairs to Pump No. 6 / Project Schedule Update
Gentlemen:
This letter will confirm our telephone conversation of April 21, 1997 regarding the repairs to Pump No. 6 and
the schedule for completion of the Village Parkway Pump Station Additions. From our discussions, we
understand Pump No. 6 is scheduled to be installed and re-started on Wednesday, April 23rd. Please let us
know if that schedule changes so that we can make the necessary adjustments in our schedule. You are hereby
requested to have the pump supplier submit a detailed report describing the problems encountered with Pump
No. 6, along with an opinion statement as to the cause of the problems; observations made on the condition of
the pump at their shop; a full accounting of the repairs and or modifications performed; and the results bench
test reports verifying the pump performance. The City expects to conduct a flow and pressure test of Pump
No. 6 once you are satisfied it properly re-installed and fully operational in accordance with the manufactures
specifications.
We also discussed your schedule for completion of the work on this project with the exception of the SCADA
System change orders. We now understand it is your intention to have all items of work complete and ready
for a final inspection by no later than Friday, May 2, 1997. The contract completion date for all work on the
project was April 10th, 1997, as modified by Change Order No. 5. Circumstances surrounding the delays of
the startup and testing the disinfection system as included in the original scope of work on the project, are
understood and acknowledged by the City of Coppell. You are hereby requested to confirm in writing your
commitment to complete your work on this project (less Change Orders 2 and 5) and your expected schedule
for a final inspection by the City of Coppell.
