Clay,

We had a meeting with the most qualified and experienced screen wall
contractor in DFw this morning as well as a conference call with Olden.  I
think we have a really good shot at saving some good money on this option
and I should know more soon.  I did a little sketch to describe what we will
propose.  We will install soil nails at the parking lot to eliminate the
need for any retaining wall at this location.  After the shoring is
backfilled we will install a standard screen wall that will only need a
substructure capable of supporting the screen wall itself.  Next to the wall
we will grade the slope at a constant slope to achieve positive drainage
from this point to the adjacent fence.  Should work out.  I will let you
know the savings amount as soon as I find out.  Take a look and let me know
if you have any questions.  Both the soil nail shoring and the screen wall
will include their own respective engineering as well.  Thanks
