Dear Mr. Flemming:
At your request, Dallas Water Utilities has reviewed the standby water metering
facility serving the City of Coppell located at the northeast corner of the
intersection of Sandy Lake Road and Denton Tap Road for adjustments which may
be necessary to meet the staked proposed paving grade and alignment.
The metering vault and related piping are clear of the proposed paving. However,
two adjustments to the facility will be necessary:
The four existing traffic protection bollards (posts) are in conflict with
the proposed curb alignment. The bollards and their attendant concrete slab
can be removed to eliminate the conflict. The curb, when constructed, will
provide traffic protection for the vault.
It is recommended that the paving contractor do the work necessary to remove
the bollards. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the meter vault and
related piping. As an alternative, Dallas Water Utilities can do the work
providing compensation is received for the cost of labor and equipment {a
cost estimate will be provided upon request).
The top of the existing meter vault is approximately 11" above the adjacent
proposed top of curb. The top of the meter vault can be lowered to meet
the proposed grade.
If the paving contractor removes the bollards, Dallas Water Utilities will
do the work necessary to lower the vault top at no charge. Otherwise, cost
compensation for both work elements will be requested. It is recommended
that this adjustment be done after the proposed curb is in place and before
the final paving cleanup work is completed.
Please contact ~ike Rickman, ~anager, Water Distribution, 670-8565, at least
24 hours prior to commencing removal of the bollards and at least 10 days prior
to when the adjustment of the vault top is required.
