Box 15302 Fort Worth, Texas 76119 Attention: Mr. Jerry Conatser Re:~l Contract: Ex. & Drainage Imprvs. Pre-Final Inspection on 3/23/88 Gentlemen: The above referenced inspection occurred on the afternoon of March 23, 1988, at the site. Those present included the Owner (Mickey Harper), Owner's Representatives (Gary Keep and Mike Elmore of SEWC, Inc. and John Nall, Engineer, of TNP), the Contractor (Nick Groze, Superintendent, and John Burns, Foreman), and the City of Coppell (Steve Morton, Chief Inspector). During the course of the inspection, it was observed that the only significant activity remaining to be addressed by the Contractor was the establishment of grass turf in the areas called for in the Contract. During the afternoon, the spraying of wood fiber mulch seeding was being accomplished by the Contractor's sub-contractor hired to perform the procedure. The following items were noted as needing to be addressed prior to the Engineer issuing a Letter of Substantial Completion: There needs to be a clean-up of general debris (i.e. sticks, branches, rocks, etc.') from the entire site. me Several areas have been "rutted" by wheel tracks of heavy equipment. These areas need to be smoothed out by the Contractor. A steep area of earthen bank was observed along the south property line in the general area south of the middle practice field. The Contractor is to reg~&~ t~i~ ~t~ ~ ~a "flatten" the slope. This particular area probably run~ 100 to 150 feet adjacent to the south property line. L. D. Conatser, Contractors March 25, 1988 Page Two Any and all broken grates (for inlet coverings) shall be replaced. One grate that was observed to be broken lies adjacent to the south property line between the two most easterly practice fields. Two steel fence posts at the southwest corner of the site need to be removed. The barbed wire fence along the north property line needs to be restored so as to assure the positive containment of livestock (horses) located on the property to the north. Ail trees that have been gouged during construction operations shall be painted with an acceptable "tree paint." At the northeastern part of the site, there is a sanitary sewer manhole rim which is presently in a "sump condition" because of its elevation being approximately one foot below the top-of-curb of an adjacent 20-foot curb inlet. This is in an area where grades in the parking lot were adjusted (i.e. raised approximately 1-foot along the north curb line of the parking lot) a couple of months ago during construction. In any case, in order to avoid creating a water pond at the manhole during rainfalls, the Contractor agreed to raise the manhole rim to an elevation equal to the top-of-curb elevation of the adjacent 20-foot curb inlet. Prior to this office issuing a Letter of Substantial Completion, the above items must be addressed plus we must receive confirmation (1) from the surveyor regarding horizontal dimension (and a few additional vertical) checks of the finished construction and (2) from the soils engineer (Maxim) regarding the acceptability of the "select fill" material and compaction constructed in the track area within the stadium. Upon satisfactory completion of the above numbered items and receipt of satisfactory information from the surveyor and soils engineer, this office is prepared to issue a Letter of Substantial Completion. The one remaining item (to finally close out the project) is the uniform establishment of grass over all of the seeded area. The City's Steve Morton also indicated that he will be furnishing a Letter of Substantial Completion regarding the storm drain facilities; Mr. Morton further L. D. Conatser, Contractors March 25, 1988 Page Three communicated that final acceptance of the storm drain facilities will not occur until after the paving is finally accepted and, at that time, assuming that there are no new problems with the storm drain facilities, he related that he would issue a Letter of Final Acceptance and that the Maintenance Bond would start at that time. Please call if any of the above is not reflective of your understanding at the above referenced inspection. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, TEAGUE NALL AND PERKINS, INC. John H.
