PUBLIC WORKS 
 
MEMORANDUM 
 
 
 TO:  Anthony Casteel, Community Development Director 
 
FROM:  Ben Burchfield, Public Works Director 
 
DATE:   December 21, 2021 
 
SUBJECT: Recommendation of Acceptance of Dupitt Circle 
 
I have received a memo from Street Superintendent April Johnston recommending acceptan ce 
of Dupitt Circle as constructed. As her memo  mentions, Public Works has been involved in 
inspections throughout the course of construction . Public Works administration  and St 
Construction staff also  conducted two proof -roll tests on the street – the fir st of which 
identified several substandard areas in need of remediation.  Mckinney Excavating was 
responsible for the construction  & installation  of the street base, stormwater infrastructure , 
and curb. 
 
The second proof-roll test was satisfactory, and Caldwell Paving was given notice to proceed to  
pave the street. There are minor items that remain to be completed – namely thermoplastic 
stop bars and signage. The City is in  possession of a letter -of-credit to be drawn upon in the 
event the developer’s contra ctor fails to complete these items in a timely  & satisfactory  
manner. 
 
Additionally, the City is also in possession of a letter -of-credit to be drawn upon in the event 
there are quality/workmanship issues with the  street construction with the next 18 month s. 
The City fully intends to draw upon these funds if issues arise.
