Re: City of Coppell
Village Parkway Ground Storage Reservoir No. 2
Gentlemen:
It appears the work under your contract with the City of Coppell for the construction of the Village Parkway
Ground Storage Tank No. 2 is nearing completion. Before final payment on the contract can be made by the
City, all liens on the project must be cleared. At this stage, we are aware of at least one outstanding claim by
Gee Consultants, Inc.
In order to avoid further delays in closing this contract, the City of Coppell hereby request that Natgun
immediately settle this claim and provide a waiver of lien from Gee Consultants. This claim has been
outstanding since June 4, 1996. The City's position in this matter has not changed since their last meeting
with you on January 23, 1996.
If this matter remains unresolved, the City will be required to take appropriate action as provided in the
contract documents. If the City's position is still not clear on this subject, you are encouraged to arrange a
meeting with Mr. Ken Griffin, P.E., City Engineer for the City of Coppell.
