Re: Construction Plans For The
Southeast Comer Of MacArthur
Boulevard And Beltline Road
Dear Mr. Doyle:
July 13, 1989
AVO 1006
On December 22, 1987, Halff Associates obtained approval from the City of Coppell
for the construction plans prepared for the above referenced site. As the developer of the
site has failed to pay for the work. Halff Associates has withheld delive~j of the approved
plans until payment is made.
The developer of the property retained a new engineer to provide a set of
construction plans for the referenced property. The new engineer prepared a revised set
of construction plans and referenced the original plans prepared by Halff Associates.
Halff Associates takes issue with the statement on the new plans which references the
original plans prepared by Halff Associates.
The Texas Engineering Practice Act, in the section entitled Professional Conduct
and Ethics, subsection 131.152-j, defines the process to be used in situations such as exist
here. The applicable section is given below.
