2"d Review Comments
Dear Mr Atkins:
Following a rexriew of the above referenced plans, the following comments are offered for your
consideration:
PLANS - GENERAL COMMENTS
The paving plan/profile sheets need to show conduit, water line tap, and power source for the
landscape irrigation in thc ~nedians The landscaping consultant NJB is coordinating with the
Parks Department on this issue
We do not want streetlights located in the stamped concrcte. Has TXU approved the
strectlight design'? A detail of thc TXU standard street light foundation will need to be
provided in thc plans or specifications
We previously discussed relocating the newer fire h~,drant and valve assemblies and
replacing the old fire hydrants and assemblies
a The Streets Department will check fire hydrants to determine whether to replace or
relocate
b Valves need to remain ~n their present location The Streets Department will check
valves to see if they am operable or need to be replaeed
The plans call for all of thc ~xater meters to be relocated and there arc existing water meters
that are not shown Thc Streets Department will locate, mark, and chcck water meters to
determine whether they need to be relocated or abandoned
We will need a list of the trees dcsignatcd for removal Thc trees ~vill nccd to be marked and
removed prior to thc start of construction The trees will need to be removed to approximate
Station 58+00.

GTE telephone vaults (Sheets 8, 12, & 14) located along thc north side of the roadway
conflict with the proposed improvements and are difficult to relocate Has GTE commented
about their proposcd relocation'~ Can thc north curb be moved 2 feet to the south to avoid the
vaults?
The paving plan/profile sheets need to show the following information:
a high point station, elevation, and flow arrows
b. top of curb elevation at all of the curb inlets
The storm drain plan/profile sheets need to show top of curb elevations at all of the curb
inlets.
Need to coordinate the design of the roadway with furore development of the T/E Northpoint
Partners, Ferguson Realty Company, and Four Seasons Addition parcels. We are currently
working with the developers of the Ferguson tract Design of the storm drains and median
openings, drainage casements may necd to be revised.
9. The City will check location of the gravel drives in the field to determine whether they are
needed Do we need concrete aprons on the gravel drives or curb openings only?
10. Need to correct the parcel ownership on the paving plan/profilc sheets to agree with Sheet 6.
I 1. Install 2" blow-offat the end of each 8" PVC stubout. Thc plugs on the 8" PVC stubouts need
to be prefabricated
12. Do we want to extend stamped concrete in the narrow median sections - sheets 17, 18, and
197
13. Need sufficient detail on all ADA access ramps and sidewalks to ensure that the plans are in
compliance with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations. This includes the
correct slope, correct width, correct texture, and correct color differentiation.
