SUMMARY OF WORK
GENERAL
Work covered by Contract Documents
The work covered by these contract documents consists of repairing and
remediating the rock masonry facade perimeter wall forming the Allen Road Park
Lake in The City of Coppell, Texas. Figure 1 shows a aerial photo plan view ofthe
lake and adjoining residential subdivisions and streets. Figure 2 shows the lake and
retaining wail stationed in 100 foot stations. Station 0+00 occurs at a temporary
dike in the channel and the stationing increases clockwise around the lake to the end
of the project at Station 13+40. The height of the wall measured from the top to the
toe of the wall is shown at each 100 foot station. The normal pool water level is
shown on the figure, and is approximately 3 feet below the top of the wall. Hence,
the submerged portion of the wall is the difference between the wall height
measurements and the nominal 3 foot water level.
In several places the rock faqade has broken along horizontal mortar joints and
displaced vertically caused by deterioration of the shale foundation. The rock above
the mortar joint remains intact. Locations where this has occurred are shown on
Figure 2; i) 85 feet at Sta 0+25 to Sta 1+10 (approximate), ii) 24 feet at Sta 7+80,
iii) 21 feet at Sta 11+00, and iv) 137 feet at Sta 11+30 to 12+67. Figure 3 shows the
repair for this condition, which consists of removing the broken rock, constructing a
new concrete foundation, and rebuilding thc mortared stone facade.
Over the remainder of the wall, remediation of the rock facade consists of
constructing a continuous concrete foundation to prevent the occurrence of future
failures. Figure 4 shows the requirements for constructing the new concrete
foundation.
Both repairs and remediation require lowering the water level in the lake to expose
the toe of the rock fafade. Lowering and maintaining the water level will be the
responsibility of the contractor performing this work. There currently exists a dike
in the channel on the south end of the lake which was installed in December to
lower the water level to investigate the faCade failures. The material used to
construct the dike is the property of the contractor who provided the services to
lower the water level It shall be the contractor's responsibility to negotiate with the
previous contractor for the use of this material.
Additional miscellaneous repairs shall also include i) backfilling two voids located
behind the retaining wall (Stations 0+62 and l+58with flowable fill and ii)
removing silt and debris from the lake bottom directly in front of three small
diameter storm drain pipes located below the water line (Stations 1+58, 74-70,
10+92).
Access to the lake and wall will be permitted from four locations identified on
Figure 2: a) 50 foot wide construction easement from Allen Road; b) 50 foot wide
construction easement from Andover Lane; c) 20 foot wide construction easement
from Aberdeen Court; d) 50 foot wide construction easement from the alley behind
Woodlake Drive. The contractor will not be permitted to park vehicles or store
01010-1

materials in the streets or alleys. All parking, material storage, and staging must be
accomplished within the designated construction easements, or other areas if prior
approval is obtained. The contractor will be responsible for restoring the vegetation
to original condition (full sodding with living grass) in the access easements after
construction is complete. The contractor will be responsible forcorrdinating with
the City of Coppell in and around City owned landscape irrigation pipes and heads.
The contractor will be responsible for repairing broken landscape irrigation pipes
and sprinkler heads resulting from the contractor's operations - if the irrigation line
is pressurized during the construction period, the repairs must be made immediately;
if the irrigation line is not in use during the construction period, the repairs must be
made prior to final acceptance.
A four foot high metal fence fully encloses the lake with a gate at approximate
Station 1+75. The contractor will be permitted to remove single panels in the metal
fence for access conditioned upon the following: a) the removed panels must not be
damaged and must be safely stored and protected; b) the removed panels must be
replaced when the work is complete; c) upon replacement, the panels must be seal
welded where they were cut, welds ground smooth, and repainted to match the
intact fence; d) the contractor must securely close the openings created by removing
the fence panels with approved temporary construction fencing during the
construction period and clearly post no-entry warning signs on the temporary
fencing. The contractor shall be responsible for compying with all Federal (OSHA),
State, and Municipal regulations and ordinances to assure safety of the general
public at all times during construction.
The complete scope and details of work is included in the construction drawings
and specifications.
Scope of work shall include protection of all existing appurtenant items not
designated to be removed. Any damaged area or appurtenance shall be replaced by
Contractor at no cost to the Owner.
