RE Past Due Invoices for the City of CoppellMarty,
I did go to bat for you with the Railroad, but they assured me that they are treating this the same as they always do. I also talked to our Public Works folks, and we also get billed
at an 8 hour minimum if we call a flagman for something.
I hope you are able to resolve your differences. They are now calling our Finance Department trying to collect this past due amount.

Keith,
All we are asking is that the charges be fair. There is nothing in any
agreement that says we have to pay for a full day no matter what. nor
does it say we cannot cancel a flagmen without charges.
I understand that we are responsible for the flagging charges, but not
as they are being charged now. we are willing to pay for the hours
worked but not for a full day if a full day was not worked. We are not
willing to pay for a day when the flagging was canceled and they showed
up anyway and tried to charge us. Especially when this same person was
working everyday just down the track on another project.
I had hoped that form my last email to you that we could get some help
on the price gouging that they are pushing on us. I will contact the
railroad directly but I will not pay these total charges as invoiced. I
am going to have a check cut for the actual time present on the job less
the day they were canceled. Otherwise we will let our attorneys resolve
this issue.

Marty,
It has come to my attention that JRJ Paving has yet to pay any of the
invoices that have been forwarded to you for flagging charges on the
Coppell Road Project. To reiterate, these charges all represent days
that a JRJ employee called and requested a flagman from the railroad.
Non-Pay item #101, NCTCOG specification section 107.22, and the permit
JRJ received from DART places the responsibility for payment of these
charges on JRJ.
Please make payment on these outstanding invoices and furnish evidence
of such payment to the City of Coppell for our records. Continued
non-payment of these invoices will force the City of Coppell to withhold
payment of JRJ invoices under the provisions of NCTCOG section 109.4.
If you wish to dispute any of these charges, please do so directly with
Fort Worth and Western Railroad.
