Mr. McLemore:
I noticed that unfinished and incorrect columns/pilasters were recently fixed on the Oak Forest wall north of Trotwood.
hope this doesn't mean that section of the wall is "complete," because two of the column tops recently installed are
wrong, as well as four others finished about a year ago.
Please note the three photos included in this document. Photo Ais the northern end of the wall with the column
constructed correctly. The top course of the wall abuts the column about one brick thickness above the bottom of the
soldier course (vertical bricks) at the top of the column. That's according to specifications.
Photo B represents two columns, numbers 6 and 7 southward from the northern end of the wall. Both columns are one
brick thickness too high. The top of the wall should meet the column higher on the soldier course.
Photo C represents four columns directly across from the retention pond between Keeth Elementary and Indian Trails.
The were constructed incorrectly a year ago. I called attention of the error to both the project engineer (Bill G.) and the
city's project manager (Kip L.) Neither seemed concerned. In fact, Kip told me since that section of the wall was
finished, he didn't think the contractor would go back for such minor adjustments. I guess he was right.
As one of the people contributing to the cost and maintenance of this wall, I want to see it built uniformly and correctly.
Please direct me to the proper forum with this complaint.
