Dear Jeff:
I have received a letter from Jensen Construction Company (a copy of
which is enclosed) regarding the present condition of the utilities
installed by Jaho, Incorporated at the Lakes of Coppell development in
Coppell, Texas. The area in question is within Village Parkway from
MacArthur Boulevard east and north to Warren Drive.
Please review the items in Jensen's letter and advise me as to what
your records indicate the condition of these utilities were when Jaho,
Incorporated left the site some months ago.
I feel that this situation is between Jensen Construction Company and
Jaho, Incorporated and should not involve Triland Investment Group in any
manner. However, if the utilities are not acceptable to the City of
Coppell, neither contractor will receive final acceptance for their work, as
you know.
Your timely review and response regarding this matter is greatly
appreciated. Should you have any questions, please call me or Don Hopkins.
Sincerely,
NATHAN D. MAIER

Dear Cliff:
0ue to utility problems encountered in
i"art ~, that Jensen ,,,~,~ e~,_p~ct~ to fmcs, !
ma~],3 an inspection of Part B and found con-
siderab!e problems. ;[e have 'not dm'~aaged any
of the utilities in this section yet, and we
are left with these problems. Jensen will not
take any responsibilities fop utility damage
unless items fib:ed. I have mentioned these
problems to yc,'~,rinspector, Tom Dixon, and to
the 2,ludd district representative. This should
save all arguments at the end of paving Part
B.
1) Af'=a~r checkings several manholes, I dis-
covered that most were dirty and had water
in them.
2) At least three manholes had-rings broke.
?) Nearly all hydrants were turned.
~) Many of the valve boxes were not straight,
did not center on valve and some had dirt
in them. One had the top section missing.
Thank you for your attention.
