3. Construction Issues:
a. Condition of Southwestern Blvd – Street and inlets are in bad shape, there are a lot of
patches, potholes, and cracks in Southwestern where water line pavement repair will tie
in to existing street. Coppell will look into getting pricing for extending the paving repair.
b. 8” water line T, drawing sheet C-30. Drawings do not show permanent paving repair in
the cross cut for the water line. TSC to submit an RFI.
c. There appears to be a fiber line in the way of the bridge pier drill shaft 1-8 that has not
been relocated.

hydrant.
d. 16” water line ”A” Sta. 36+00 – water line vertical adjustment to go under a
communication duct bank.
5. Areas of Concern:
a. Saturated sub-grade. We have a response back from J Volk stating that Alpha Testing
recommends the exposed soil subgrade be observed during proof-rolling. Any
soft, wet, loose material exposed during the proof-roll should be removed and
recompacted. We are waiting on the pricing from TSC for the installation of the
edge drain.
b. Street light removal – Oncor is scheduled to remove street lights during the week of July
th
9.
c. Pond at Kroger. TSC has concerns with the pond at Kroger. Plans call for a rock gabion
basket at the road side of the pond. TSC is concerned with the possibility of the pond
water migrating through the gabion basket to the road sub-grade. J Volk to review.
