Keith,
We ran out of time yesterday before I could get to everything on my agenda but wanted to visit with you about
a few additional things:
1. We still owe you a fee for the park/trail improvements. I’ve been working with Tim to refine but honesty
we let this take a back seat to finalizing the plans last week.
As part of my acclimation process I’ve been reviewing the history and evolution of contract and fee
modifications for this project and need some assistance filling in a few gaps. Do you have records of all
fee modifications? I’ve been reviewing our files and have located several but am afraid that my records
are lacking. This issue has little impact to the fee mod for the park, other than making sure I note the
correct designation in the series, but it did generate a more significant question regarding accuracy of
our records which could affect billings, etc…
2. Sandy Lake SRW (Segmental Retaining Wall)
We still have plenty of time to review wall products but I wanted to run this by you as currently I believe
that we are only specifying a traditional Pavestone wall. I’ve seen this mosaic product elsewhere and
really like to look vs. standard Pavestone walls. I’m also a fan of the fiberglass reinforcing pin, which
Pavestone does not offer.

3. 121 Water Line – Survey
Within the next couple of weeks we plan to start survey beginning with the north section near N. Coppell
Road. Towards the end of the month we will be closing in on Sandy Lake including the parcel which
TxDOT has yet to acquire ROW. Do you think that we will have necessary permission or Right of Entry by
then?
Thanks
Chris
