Re: Coppcll Boardwalk
Dear Mr. Green:
I have received your walk-thru punch list after six weeks of completion and many
requests. I have also received your fax stating "10 Day Demand to Complete Work".
I need clarification on several items and I dispute several others. Please respond to the
following items as soon as possible since the City of Coppcll and Green Scaping has
defaulted on their obligations and therefore stalled completion and final payment of this
project.
# 1 - Place caps on 4 "x 4" cedar posts.
S~ item #4 below.
#2 - Support all floor joists with joist hangers.
This item was addressed at the onset of project and engineer who designed walk
approved the deletion of joist hangers. This change order was sent to both your office
and City of Coppell inspector, Garreth Campbell.
#3 - Provide pier foundation details sealed by a State of Texas P.E.
Although this project was designed for the city by a Texas P.E., and I don't see the
intention or significance, I will furnish this document upon written clarification of all
other items.
~4 - Finish 4" x 4" posts to plan grade and plumb each post as indicated on the plans.
Garreth Campbell and Skip Marshall discussed plumbing of posts and agreed that
because of design, the posts could not possibly be in exact alignment and that a cap (2 x 6

fiat on top) would be the solution and was to be written by change order. This would
eliminate #1 item on inspection list and that is why the caps were not installed.
#5 - Verify the finished grade of the elevated sidewalk section.
Please explain this item. We used engineer's grade shots. Who and how do you want it
verified?
#6 - Repair damaged irrigation line on the east end.
I have no knowledge of irrigation line and feel no responsibility to an item not in my
scope of work.
Please send me all documents pertaining to bonding of this project. It is required by law
that you provide name and address of bonding company and bonding number.
Also, please have City of Coppell give mason for not paying draw requests as they were
invoiced and not giving any indication of reason why or explanation before or after
payments were made. My draw requests were never overstated yet either Green Scaping
or the City of Coppell elected to cut both draws drastically with no reason or explanation.
Please respond to these items within five days from date of receipt of this letter so we can
see where we go from here.
In the meantime I have no choice but to file against bonding company and file a lien
against this project to protect my interest. Consider this formal notification and forward
requested bonding information immediately.
Sincerely,
Mark Biee
