Re: Lakes of ¢oppell
DeForest Road Improvements
Dear Mr. 6inn:
This letter is in response to your letter of February 21, 1986,
subject as above. Additionally, the purpose of this
correspondence is to clarify some erroneous statements made in
your letter.
First, I would like to state that DeForest Road improvements are
not a Trtland project, but rather a City of Coppell project. As
such, it would appear to me that the responsibility to supervise
the design engineers would either be yourself or someone on the.
city staff. We have been trying to assist you simply in the
spirit of cooperation.
Secondly, I am not sure I understand the purpose of your letter
in that you requested to be notified as to when design plans
would be available to the city. Your letter was dated February
21, 1986, and I have been advised that you were provided with a
complete set of design plans on February 18, 1986.
Third, in your letter you stated that the DeForest Road item was
placed on the council agenda February 11 because I had promised
that the design would be available on February 1st. I would
refer you to my letter of Danuary 24, 1986, (a copy of which is
attached), in which I indicated that the final design would be
submitted prior to February 15, 1986. When questioned about that
date, I indicated we would do whatever we could to speed up the
process. However, neither your firm nor the City of ¢oppell took
the courtesy to advise us that this item was to be considered on
February 11.

Additionally, I was advised today that the DeForest Road item was
to be considered on tonight's agenda, and then was subsequently
advised that it had been pulled from the calendar.
In conclusion, if you feel that the design prooess has not been
oondueted in a manner satisfactory to the city, I might recommend
that the city bid the job to an alternate enginering firm to be
designed.
Sincerely, . ~
