Dear Mr. Parsley:
During the past months we have been in frequent communication
regarding the subject waterline relocation on Denton Tap Road. I
received good news last week when I called your office and spoke
to Mr. Calvin Winchester. I am happy to hear that a Purchase
Order was awarded to Gilford-Hill American to furnish the new
pipe and that there now exists a tentative schedule for
completion of the relocation.
As you are aware, the City of Coppell's contractor, L.H. Lacy
Co., will complete their paving operations on the road
improvements project soon. It appears that the area immediately
north of Sandy Lake Road, in which your waterline must be
relocated, will be the only area remaining to be paved by mid to
late August. My understanding of Dallas Water Utilities'
schedule for the relocation is that the work should be complete
within approximately two weeks from pipe delivery. Based on my
conversations last week with Calvin Winchester and Jim Dory
(Gilford-Hill American) the delivery of pipe may take place by
the first week of August. Therefore, we anticipate that it is
possible that L.H. Lacy Co. might be able to accomplish their
storm sewer construction, earthwork, subgrade and paving work in
this area in the last two weeks of August.
The reason we are targeting completion of the Denton Tap Road
Improvements for the end of August is to attempt to accommodate
increased traffic on Denton Tap Road due to the opening of the
new high school which is located just west of Denton Tap Road and
south of Parkway Boulevard, and will open for the fall semester
at the end of August.

On behalf of the City of Coppell we urge you and all other
parties involved to expedite your work in any reasonable manner
to help us open Denton Tap Road prior to the beginning of the new
school year. If we can be of further assistance in helping to
bring this about, please let us know.
we thank you for your cooperation to date in this matter.
Sincerely,
John C. Karlsruher, P.E.
