Re: City of Coppell
Village Parkway Pump Station Addition
Dear Mr. Gee:
On behalf of the City of Coppell, we have reviewed your proposal dated February 1, 1996, for materials testing and
inspection for the Village Parkway Pump Station Addition. We recommended the City accept your proposal with the
following exceptions:
1. Section VI of the materials testing proposal should be deleted. The concrete slabs for the package
chlorine/ammonia scrubber slabs are existing and will not require further testing. Deducting the $543.00
inspection and testing charges for the scrubber slabs will change the total for all inspection and testing services to
$4,327.25.
2. This proposal has no provisions for overtime charges. We offer no objections to this, provided Gee Consultants,
Inc. understands the City will not pay for overtime. The project specifications state that the general contractor
for the construction of the pump station is responsible for overtime charges related to inspection. It is our
interpretation that this also applies to inspection and testing services provided by the City when using an outside
consultant.
The subject of overtime was discussed in the pre-construction conference for the project held on February 6, 1996.
We believe we made it clear to both you and the general contractor, North Texas Municipal Construction Company,
Inc., that any overtime charges incurred on this project shall be billed directly to the general contractor.
We have been directed by the City to forward these review comments to you and request that you submit a revised
proposal. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
