Re Coppell Rd (3)Marty,
I have no desire to lime either. I do want extra concrete though. My suggested solution is to pay the contract amount for lime and prep, and you put the extra thickness that pays for
instead. If that gets us 1 or 1.5 inches rather than 2 I'm fine with that.

Keith,
I received this email today. I am not sure why you want to lime the sub
grade to begin with. The approach has already been limed with our
contract and Southwestern was limed when it was built. All we are doing
is making grade changes for drainage, not replacing for structural
integrity.
You asked me to construct these changes based on the removal and
replacement, not lime. My cost to lime an area this small will be around
$7k, I cannot lime this area for the same unit prices in the contract.
No matter how big or small an area is you have one full day for each
application when applying lime, mix, remix and fine grade.
Per the email below you want to trade out two inches for the lime.
Typically the even trade off is one inch not two.
With 4543 sf or 505 sy of lime area we would have $1080.70 for
manipulation and $1565.92 for materials. The additional two inches of
concrete material is $3400.00, so you can see it is not an even swap.
Let me know what you think.
Marty

Marty, Keith wants us to put in two extra inches of concrete and no lime
for the same price on Southwestern . The City is receiving a lot of heat
over shutting Coppell Rd down again . The want us to pour this Friday
and try and open it up Monday . Ed is just now doing the demo , I don't
think we can get this done in that time frame .
