Village Parkway Pump Station Additions
Memorandum To:., Mr. Larry Davis
From: Matt Hicke7 Date: October 14, 1996
Larry,
Last week it came to our attention that the concrete pump pads were not built in accordance with the
construction plans. The construction plans call for a 5 foot separation between the pads, The pads were
constntcted approximately 3.5 feet apart. At this separation, the pump station will operate as anticipated.
In your absence, Mr. Ken Griffin, Mr. Matt Cast and Mr. Ted Dutt were contacted about the changes to
construction of the pump station and the potential maintenance problems. They agreed the 3.5 feet pad
separation is acceptable and North Texas Municipal Construction Company, Inc. may continue with the
installation of the pumps.
Attached is a copy dour letter dated July 19, 1996, regarding our previous position on this matter. Should you
have any concerns regarding the changes to the construction plans, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Re: City of Coppell
Village Parkway Pump Station Addition
Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the corrected motor data for the proposed 250 hp pump motors, dated July 18, 1996,
submiRed by your pump supplier. We offer no objections to the revised motor data, but would like to point
out that the revised data shows a motor approximately 5.5 inches longer than the data originally submitted.
According to the dimensional char~ included in the original submittal, the pump and motor base plate is to be
84-inches in length. The concrete pump pad shown on sheet S1 of the plans is proposed to be 8a-inches in
length. This leaves no room for adjustment that may be required as the pumps are set. We have discussed this
with your pump supplier and understand they can provide a base plate as small as 75-inches and still
accommodate the larger motor frame as revised. We offer no objections to the smaller base plate if it will aid
in the installation of the pumps. Please be advised that nder no circumstances can ~ve allow the pump pad to
exc~d the planned dimensions, nor allow for a smaller opening between the pump pads than shown.
We are returning three copies of the revised submittal with our review stamp. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sinc;;;eT_rs'
