RE: Request to administer a Title 23 Project in the City of Coppell
Dear Mr. Beene:
The City of Coppell is participating in the Dallas County CMAQ Program. Currently, five
CMAQ intersection improvements are under design in our City. One of the five, Sandy
Lake at Moore, is within the limits of the Sandy Lake Road project currently being
designed by the City of Coppell. The intersection of Sandy Lake Road at Moore Road is
in CMAQ Project 10. Extensive design coordination has occurred to ensure that the Sandy
Lake Road improvements and the CMAQ intersection improvements at Sandy Lake and
Moore will complement each other.
The only feasible method to actually build these two construction projects is to build them
simultaneously. To accomplish this objective, the City of Coppell proposes to administer
the bidding and construction management of the CMAQ Title 23 intersection improvements
at Sandy Lake and Moore Road as part of the Sandy Lake Road project. The other four
locations in the CMAQ Project 10 would continue to follow the standard procedure for
project administration. The City requests that Dallas Cour/ty forward this request to
TxDOT and would solicit your concurrence in this request.
If you should have any questions please contact me at (972)304-3679.
Sincerely,
Ke M. Griffin, P.E.
