Buck Bla�ktop Ir�c. correspondence dated September 9, 2008; and <br />4. WSB & Associates Inc. correspa�de�ce dated September 19, 2008. <br />C�early there is a dispute o�er the amount d�ae for change order #1. The contract <br />documents for the project contain a disp�te resolution process (Standar� Ger�eral <br />Canditions of Contract Section 4.0(3}(C}(3}, 10.05(E), and A�ticles i6}. Based <br />upon our conversations it is my understanding that ti�e contrac�or has chasen no� to <br />folfow ihe agreed upan dispute resofutian process bu�, instead, has signed change <br />order #I and the final payment request "under pro�test". <br />By accepting final payment on the contract, the contractor wa+ves ali claims against <br />the city other than fhose previously made pursuant to th� terms af the cantract <br />documents a�d expressly acknowledged by the city in writing as still u�settled <br />{S�andard Conditions of Cantract S�c#ian 14.09{A)(2}. The contractor does not <br />satisfy its obligation to pursue the agreed upan dispute resolutior� process by simply <br />signing documen#s "un�er pro�est". <br />'AL50 ADMI7"fE� IN W15CONSIN <br />
