Thanks Keith
Also, I'm sure you are busy but wanted to see if you've had any time to review 121 water line proposal I sent last week?

Subject: Sandy Lake Phase 2A and 2B outstanding questions
Keith
We met internally yesterday to discuss both phases of the Sandy Lake project, and developed a list of
remaining questions that we wanted to run by you prior to our final submittals. Some of these may be
simple answers while others you may wish to meet to discuss. We are open to whatever works best for
you. As previously discussed, our hope was to have plans to you by the end of the month, possibly
1
sooner if we can gather all the remaining information we need. Take a look, and feel free to respond to
the items as you see fit. Thanks.
1.We need a copy of the City Bridge Luminaire Details so we can complete the bridge lighting
plans.
2.Does the City have a specific modular block Brand/Type/Color that they would like for us to
specify on the plans at this time? There have been some previous examples mentioned around
the city, but we have never identified exactly what colors/look would be preferred. This can
also be handled later through submittals if preferred.
3.Does the City have a preference on pedestrian handrail Color/Type in lieu of the less appealing
PR-1/PR-2 types? One thought would be a more decorative handrail with a black or wrought
iron look. Again, this could be handled through submittals if necessary, but would help the
contractors in pricing if we detailed it out prior to bidding.
4.Would the City like to extend the Bridge Railing on the west side of the bridge, south side of the
road, instead of using the selected pedestrian handrail type? We had discussed the possibility
of extending the bridge railing rather than having two different types abutting each other.
5.Phase 1 had permanent “paint” markings (stripes, arrows, etc.) paid as lump sum, but had traffic
buttons paid by type/each. Would they prefer to do that again? We noticed this while putting
together our list of bid items, and while unconventional, we can certainly do this again.
6.Would the City prefer that TNP submit (for City review) some form liners for the cast-in-place
concrete retaining walls prior to bidding, or would they prefer to handle that through submittals
with the contractor?
7.Would the City prefer that the trail improvements be included in the plan set for Phase 2A prior
to bidding, or submitted as an addendum once available? Since scope, fee, etc. is still being
finalized, we anticipate a slight delay in this portion of the plans.
8.After reviewing the Geotechnical report in detail, cement stabilized subgrade is recommended
for the entire 2A and 2B sections. Previous conversations left open the possibility of dividing the
necessary quantity of stabilization into both lime and cement, and requiring further series
testing during construction. Is this still the city’s recommendation, or is the recommendation
from the report acceptable?
9.We would like to get the revised Denton Tap Signal Plans which the City is currently preparing. If
requested, we can provide the proposed paving and ramp cad work for incorporation into the
City’s drawings.
10.We need the water service line size of the Verizon building for reflection in our drawings.
11.Has there been any update or changes to the desired submittal/bidding schedule? As
mentioned above, our goal was to deliver plans by the end of the month with expectations that
advertising would follow shortly, but we can adjust that schedule as the City sees necessary.
Thanks for your help, and we hope to have everything completed very shortly. Please let us know if you
would like to discuss any of these items further, or if there is anything that you have thought of since we
last met.
