ST8201-CS 900123//Re: Denton Tap Road ImprOvements from Belt Line Road/
Sandy Lake Road ~
Dear Mr. Balch:
We have received and reviewed your letter of January 16, 1990
regarding Contract Close-out. We do not agree that the project
was substantially complete on September 29, 1989. The
improvements were designed as a 6 lane divided thoroughfare and
as such were not ready for use as a full six lane divided
thoroughfare at that time.
We will research our field reports and attempt to determine a
date when substantial completion was achieved. As soon as we
develop this information we will inform you accordingly.
With regard to a final inspection of the project, we feel that
it is premature to conduct the inspection prior to your
completion of the remaining pay item work on the project. The
principal items which need to be addressed prior to the
scheduling of a final inspection are:
Painting of the Grapevine Creek Bridge
Application of all remaining pavement markings
traffic buttons
and
3. Installation of the bridge lighting system
Concreting and installation of brick pavers for the
temporary traffic signal pole blockouts at the Bethel
School Road intersection
In the meantime, we have prepared a partial punch list for the
project and transmitted it to you. You have the opportunity, if
you choose, to begin work on these items while you complete the
unfinished portions of the project. Items which you rectify will
be dropped from the list during the final inspection. We caution
you that these punch lists are by no means final or complete, but
are furnished to you as a courtesy in hopes that they will help
you finalize the project as soon as possible.

office, your anticipated schedule for the final completion of the
project.
Please call if you have any questions.

Since September 29, 1989, we have pursued the expedient completion of the
items mentioned above as well as various cleanup items. At this time we
would like to request an inspection of the project be made to determine the
status of completion and subsequently provide us with a list of items of
work to be completed or corrected. We are aware that there is still some
work to be done on a few of the items listed above. However~ we 'feel those
can be added to your final list.
We look forward to receipt of a Certificate of Substantial Completion and
appreciate YOur consideration.
