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.

schedule a time for first of next week.
Thanks

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 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
3
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.
4
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.
