Subject:RE: Sandy Lake Phase 2A and 2B outstanding questions
Keith,
My morning has slipped away from me.
How about Monday at 10:00?
Also, I plan provide a status update on Sandy Lake. We only have a few remaining spec. items to address but should be
able to have bid package ready within a week for Section 2B, with Section 2A close behind. We can print these at any
time for your review but was waiting till we complete our internal coordination and QA/QC prior to submitted.
Additionally, there may be some impacts from the responses to the list of questions that Casey sent earlier this week.
Thanks
Chris

Keith,
My son is playing in a basketball tournament today in Frisco. Our first game is at 1:00 and next will
depend on whether they win or lose thus my schedule is in flux for the remainder of the day.
If you can fit me in I can stop by this morning or stop by late in the day or we can schedule a time for
first of next week.
Thanks
Chris

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 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
3
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.
