I left you a message a little bit ago about getting started with the Roadway Worker Protection training. Can you please send me that information so I can get that scheduled ASAP? Thanks again for your help. -Adrian From: Shannon Gray \[mailto:sgray@dart.org\] Sent: Monday, July 7, 2014 4:27 PM To: Adrian Bowman Cc: Frances Wilson; George Marshall Subject: Re: MacArthur Blvd. in Coppell MP 606.2 Hi Adrian. It would be best to wait for the final or approved document before we proceed. I understand that the City has the desire to start next Monday, but realistically, that may not occur due to the fact that we have to (1) route the document for both DART and Bowman's signature and (2) obtain approval of insurance from DART Risk Management. Securing the Contractor Right of Entry should have been factored into the initial planning phase of the project before Council's approval. Nevertheless, we'll do our best to expedite the process as much as possible.

Would it be possible to go ahead and execute the current ROE Agreement and then submit additional insurance once the revised agreement is ready? This project must start next Monday. 7/14, and should be completed before the end of the month. It’s a very aggressive schedule so we can get traffic flowing as soon as possible. Obviously, it also very political with the City of Coppell. Any help is appreciated.

The work is scheduled to begin July 14th. Please contact Adrian Bowman and provide contact information for working within the Cotton Belt ROW in Coppell where Ft. Worth & Western operates. I told Adrian that Bowman's workers will need RWP classes and a flagman will be required. As I understand, Bowman Construction will be working on the roadway, but not as it crosses the Cotton Belt, but south of it, though within the southern ROW. Adrian, please correct me if I'm incorrect. Finally, our Contractor Right of Entry (CROE) is being revised for insurance, so it will be a few days before Shannon can get a CROE to you. Thanks!
