Re: Alley Pavement Failure
Pecan Hollow Addition
Dear Ken:
It has been brought to my attention by Mr. Larry Davis,
Inspector, that a pavement failure has occurred in the alley
south of Pecan Hollow Drive in the above referenced addition.
Mr. Davis has contacted various individuals including Cullum
Construction Company, Glenn Thurman, Inc., and myself to request
either party to correct the matter.
Even though I was not the contractor responsible for installation
of the storm sewer, the inspector responsible for inspection,
the testing laboratory responsible for density suitability ,
the paving contractor responsible for paving, the project manager
or the developer, I told Mr. Davis that I would help him resolve
this issue.
I reviewed the matter onsite and determined that the subgrade
beneath the pavement has failed. It appears that this was the
result of a leak in the storm sewer, either at the plug or in
a joint.
Originally I, on behalf of the developer contacted Glenn Thurman,
Inc. to correct the Droblem, however, Mr. Davis advised Glenn
Thurman's personnel that the issue was much greater than
initially determined.
Upon hearing of this impromptu statement by Mr. Davis, I advised
Glenn Thurman, Inc., to not get involved in this problem due
to its growing scope of work.
I contacted C. W. Young Construction, Inc., the installer of
the storm sewer system, and asked Chuck Young to review the
situation. Mr. Young concurred that the storm sewer pipe must
be leaking and his company would correct the matter, especially
since he is the successful contractor of the proposed 10 acre
subdivision adjacent thereto.

Mr. Young requested that the permanent correction be made when
he begins the storm sewer in said addition.
I respectfully request that this issue be coordinated between
you and Mr. Young to reach a satisfactory solution.
Possibly the release of the aforementioned construction plans
would expedite the correction of the problem.
Mr. Davis gave a message to me that implies that I should contact
a resident, Ms. Susan Warol, 319 Pecan Hollow Drive (462-1694),
to explain the issue.
Due to the circumstances previously addressed, I feel that this
should be handled by staff personnel.
Ken, if you have additional questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
