# ARDOT R033097 Hot Springs P1977 Response ARDOT released five PDFs and closed inquiry `R033097-072326` on 2026-08-10. The response supplies the countersigned Traffic Control Device permit, signed District special permit, and the review/execution email chain. It resolves the earlier signature-state conflict without establishing construction, inspection, acceptance, activation, or present operation. ## What's inside - [[Hot Springs P1977 Countersigned Permits and Execution Chain]] - a source guide to all five files, the signature sequence, the `$10,000` bond, the review path, and the remaining lifecycle boundary. ## File register | Exact file | Pages | Documentary role | |---|---:|---| | `Hot_Springs_PD_-_ALPR_Submission_-_10_Locations_-_Flock_01391793.pdf` | 3 | Initial submission and TSMO/District log-mile review chain | | `Hot_Springs_PD_-_ALPR_Submission_-_10_Locations_-_Flock_01391793_-_D6_Response.pdf` | 5 | Signature routing and April 23 delivery of approved permits | | `P1977__SP-06-2026-0020___10_ALPR__D6__Garland_Co__Hot_Springs__Hwy_70-270-7___signed___4-15-26.pdf` | 28 | Three-page special permit plus countersigned 25-page TCD/plan packet | | `Signed_P1977_10_ALPR_D6_Garland_Co_Hot_Springs_Hwy_70-270-7__4-15-26__1___003_.pdf` | 25 | Countersigned TCD permit and approved plan | | `SP-06-2026-0020.pdf` | 3 | Standalone signed District special permit | ## Key takeaways - The countersigned TCD page bears City Manager [[Bill Burrough]]'s applicant signature dated 2026-04-17 and [[Joseph D. Hawkins]]'s Department signature dated 2026-04-16 (`Signed_P1977...pdf`, p. 2). - Special Permit `SP-06-2026-0020` records City acknowledgment on 2026-04-21, Flock acknowledgment on 2026-04-23, and [[Kelsey R. Kumpe]]'s approval on 2026-04-23 (p. 3). - The special permit states: `"A $10,000.00 Bond is required and has been received from Flock Safety"` and says it will be retained until approved work is complete (`SP-06-2026-0020.pdf`, p. 3). - On April 23, Kumpe sent Flock the `"approved Special Permit and TCD Permit"` (`..._D6_Response.pdf`, p. 1). - No work order, preconstruction record, completion notice, as-built, inspection, final acceptance, activation, relocation, removal, or current-inventory record appears in the release. ## Duplicate-content treatment The new 25-page signed packet repeats the earlier Hot Springs plan on 24 pages and materially differs on permit page 2, which now carries the applicant signature. The 28-page combined file is the three-page special permit followed by that signed packet; the standalone special permit repeats the same three-page instrument. All files remain preserved because their signature state and release context differ, but the repeated pages do not create additional sites or events. ## Tension treatment - [[T019 - Hot Springs P1977 Signed Label vs Incomplete Permit and Deployment Record]] is resolved narrowly: the later ARDOT record validates the export's `Signed` shorthand as an executed-permit state. - [[T054 - Hot Springs P1977 Executed Authorization vs Missing Closeout and Operational Proof]] preserves the distinct unresolved issue: authorization and bond receipt do not establish completed or current operation. ## Map treatment The ten plan coordinates are identical to the already compiled P1977 engineering-plan points. No new coordinate records are added, and the evidence stage remains `final engineering plan`, not current inventory. ## Delivery and integrity The five PDFs total 64 pages. Defender scanning, PDF structural checks, all-page rendering, hybrid extraction, and duplicate-page comparison passed.
