Construction Plan 5th Review Comments
Dear Mr. Hoenes:
The City of Coppell has reviewed the revised plans for the referenced project submitted on
November 3, 2003. These plans meet our minimum requirements; however, prior to the start of
construction an adequate number of construction plans should be submitted to the City so that
they can be signed by the City Engineer. The City of Coppell requires three sets of plans for our
use. In addition to that, you should submit an adequate number of plans for your contractors and
subcontractors. All contractors working on the project must have a set of construction plans
signed by the City Engineer.
While the plans, as submitted, do meet our minimum requirements, there are still two items that
need some consideration during the early stages of construction.
1. Sheet C -6 states that the structural design of the retaining wall shall be provided by the
contractor per the wall manufacturer. Portions of the wall are now proposed to be
approximately 4 foot tall. It is quite conceivable that a footing or foundation may be
needed on this wall, in lieu of leveling pad, as shown.
2. While a Traffic Control Plan has been submitted to the City for the construction within
Denton Tap Road, there is still some concern on how traffic will be handled on site during
the reconstruction of the northern entrance, that is located at the median opening on Denton
Tap Road Some thought needs to be given on how cars will enter and exit the church site
during the construction of the drive approaches.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact this office at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
