RE: DART's Engineering Review Comments regarding plans submitted for the proposed 4-
inch PVC communication cable within a 10-inch steel casing pipe crossing the Cotton
Belt Line at Coppell Road, Mile Post 609.01 in Coppell, Dallas County, Texas.
Dear Mr. Griffin:
I have received comments from DART's engineering consultant regarding the plans submitted
by Freese and Nichols, Inc. through e-mail dated April 10, 2009, from B. Caleb Thornhill, P.E.
Included in the submittal were an application, engineering checklist, and drawings numbered
CD-l and DT-l. The submittal was reviewed to determine compliance with the DART Design
Criteria Manual, Volume I, Chapter 6, "Utilities".
It was determined that the following items were not adequately addressed:
1) The standard application needs to be correctly filled out: The Casing Size and the
Casing Wall Thickness do not agree with what is called out in the "Described
Proposed Improvements".
2) Plan sheet CD-I (sheet 20 of 42) calls out the encasement pipe to be 12-inch and
contradicts the standard application that calls out the encasement to be 10-inches.
Please verify.
3) Clearly show and call out existing DART right of way in relation to the crossing.
4) The drawing needs to show that the wall thickness of steel conduits complies with
DART standards referenced in Table 6-1 on page 6-14.
5) The drawing needs to show each crossing to be marked with a utility marker in
accordance with the DART requirements described on page 6-38.
Please revise the drawings addressing each of the comments above and resubmit along with a
letter of explanation. Please to me at P.O. Box 660163, Dallas, Texas 75266-7210. If you have
any questions, I may be contacted at (214) 749-3619 or via e-mail at fwilson@dart.org.

Frances,
On the permitting process, do you need 2 checks for $600 or will 1 for $1200 work for the paving
improvements and communication cable?
