Memorandum
To: Mike Martin, P.E., City of Coppell
From: Mike Jones, P.E.
Date: December 21, 1999
Re: Wrangler Drive Project
Larry Davis requested that I provide you with some of my notes from our meeting on
12/08/99 to assist you in preparing the letter to TISEO Paving regarding final contrad time
charged to the Wrangler Drive project,
1. The total contract time charged to the project through August 5, 1999 (the date of final
walk-thru) was 422 days.
a, Additional contract time could be charged, in accordance with Item 1.6 of
the Special Project Requirements, for the time required to complete the
City's punch list of items necessary to satisfactorily complete the project,
however to-date this time has not been assessed. The punch lists were
provided to TISEO on either 8/9/99 or 8/10/99. These items were not fully
addressed until some time in September or October 1999,
2. TISEO has failed to provide a critical path schedule for the project which would
demonstrate that the critical path was adversely impacted and that any loss of
time could not have been made up by revising the sequence of work for the
project in accordance to Item SC-1 °36 of the Supplementary Conditions.
3. TISEO's failure to have a competent superintendent on the project at all times as
required by Item 1.14 of the Special Project Requirements (reference letters to
TISEO from TNP dated 10/12/98 and from Larry Davis dated 2/5/99 & 2/9/99)
contributed to the delay in locating utility conflicts and the coordination of their
adjustment,
4, TISEO provided the City with written notice of concerns regarding utility conflicts
in a letter dated 11/17/98, No other written notification was received by the City
within the 7-day time, stipulated in Item 1.36 of the General Conditions.
5. TISEO's request for time extensions due to utility conflicts has some measure of
merit, however, no time extensions can be made without a demonstration of how
these conflicts adversely impacted the critical path schedule for the project.

a, Reference item 6.2 of the Instructions to Bidders.
b. Reference Item 3(e) of the Bid Form.
c, Reference Item 7.3 of the Standard Form of Agreement,
d. Reference Item 1.16 of the Specific Project Requirements.
6. TISEO's request for time extension due to severe weather conditions does not
appear to be justified.
a. Other projects within the same time period progressed without time
extensions.
b. No relationship to critical path has been demonstrated (see Comment No.
2 above),
c. No written request was received in accordance with Contract requirements
(see Comment No, 4 above)
7. TISEO's request for time extension for Change Order No. I is not justified. No
change to the contract time was made since the additional work added by that
change order could be performed and completed concurrently with the remaining
work on the project and, therefore, did not adversely impact the critical path for
overall completion (see letter to TISEO from TNP dated 1/15/99).
8. TISEO's request for time extension due to material shortage does not appear to
meet the contract requirements for time extensions,
a. No relationship to critical path has been demonstrated (see Comment No.
2 above).
b. No written request was received in accordance with Contract requirements
(see Comment No, 4 above)
9, TISEO's request for time extensions due to additiona) storm drain work could be
considered for approved if TISEO can demonstration how this additional work
adversely impacted the cdtical path schedule for the project,
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
Thank~//V~
