RE:
Meeting of June 16, 1986
on Coppell Eiem. School -
Moore Road site
Dr. David Stanfield, Supt. - Coppell I.S.D.
Chief Mayfield (Coppell Fire Chief)
Mr. Ed Powell (City Engineer)
Mr. Ron Brookfield, Brookfleld-Lowry General Contr.
Mr. Thomas Moore, Brookfield-Lowry
Mr. Charlie Catterton, Brookfield-Lowry
Mr. Gary Keep, SHWC
Mr. George Tetrault, SHWC
The following is our understanding of the items discussed and decisions made
during the above-referenced meeting. Should we be incorrect on any item, please
advise as soon as possible.
Mr. Powell expressed concern that the general contractor not unload heavy
construction equipment off of Moore Road or from in front of the fire
station property, thereby obstructing Moore Road, which is currently
under construction, since there is only a single lane in that area.
The general contractor indicated that equipment would not be unloaded from
the road, but would be taken to the site and unloaded on the site.
The general contractor is to coordinate the schoolls construction with the
Moore Road paving and with the paving contractor, Ashler.
Mr. Powell has requested that any Saturday work on the general construction be
limited to the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. so as not to disturb area
residents. The City also asked if the general contractor could refrain from
working on Sundays. The City Engineer also inquired as to what the work
hours would be for the general construction during the week, and asked if
they could be scheduled between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The general contractor
did not feel that this was a problem, with the exceptionof concrete pours
during the summer, which need to be done in the early morning when weather
is COO1 in order for the concrete not to dry out too rapidly.
o
The general contractor indicated that they distribute mailbox notices of
the construction activity. These notices would be put in mailboxes of the
nearby homes, and they would also notify the police department of construction
activities.
o
Mr. Powell asked that the general contractor provide phone numbers of
persons available on 24 hours for emergencies during the construction of
the school project.

Mr. Powell indicated that the City will make the water line taps, and extend
the water lines to the school property line. The general contractor,
Brookfield-Lowry, is to make the sewer line taps and extend the sewer llne.
The general contractor indicated that they would probably pour the building
slab, and the paving and drives at the same time, and this would begin as
soon as underground utilities are in place.
Discussion was held as to construction employees parking areas, the contractor
indicated that they would possibly approach from the back of the site, through
the alley, and park on the back side of the property off of the alley.
The general contractor Indicated that a construction shack will be moved on
e
site as soon as weather p rm~ts, and the origninal plans were to start clearing
the site as of June 16, 1986. However, the site is too wet for this to
commence as of June 16.
11. Mr. Powell requested that the general contractor try to refrain from using
the allies as access to the site for concrete trucks.
12.
Mr. Powell, City Engineer, stated that Dale Jackson of the City is the one who
issues the building permits, and this normally is a three week turn around
time, but that it would be o.k. for the general contractor to do earthwork
and to prepare the 6uildlng pads, but not pour the concrete slab prior to
the issuing of the permit.
13. Mr. Powell is to check with Mr. Steve Gorham as to the status of determining
the fees to be paid by the School DJstrlct.

Brookfield-Lowry is to select a testing laboratory on June 16, and have them
contact Mr. H. G. Doyle of SHWC for setting up of a meeting to discuss testing
lab. procedures and testing requirements.

that no water jetting would be allowed by the City of Coppelt.
