Re:
Sandy Lake Road, Coppell, Texas
Paving, Drainage, and Water System Improvements Project # ST 93-02
TDLR Project No. EABPRJ A1008798
Dear Ms Jalms:
This letter is written in response to the March 19, 2004 letter conceming violations associated with Sandy Lake
Road. The ninety-day timeline for corrections on this project is set to expire on June 16, 2004. On April 30, 2004,
the City of Coppell entered into a contract with Ed Bell Construction Company to resolve all associated ADA
issues. It xvas our hope to have this project completed by thc first part of June; however, with the weather related
work stoppages, the contract will more than likely not be complete until the end of June, 2004. Currently, the
contractor is approximately 60% complete on all ADA issues.
With this letter, I am providing a copy of our agenda item that went to City Council on April 30, 2004, along with
a detailed breakout o£the cost associated to correcl each location. The locations that have a dash mark attached to
them have no cost assigned to the city because they were constructed incorrectly by the contractor and will be
removed and replaced at the contractor's sole cost.
One issue that delayed the resolution of the ADA deficiencies xvas working xvith the original design consultant on
liability. The liability issue is now resolved. Included with this letter is a letter from the design consultant, dated
April 27, 2004, in which they agreed to pay $35,000 of the ADA related issues.
Once the project has been completed, I will send verification to the Slate that all deficiencies have been corrected.
Because of the fact that the City does have a contract in place to correct all deficiencies, and the complications
surrounding this matter associated with responsibility for submitting plans to the State, it is my hope that no
administrative penalties will be accessed against the City of Coppell. If you should have any questions or need any
additional information please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin. P.E.
