Each document has a "Work Order No.". These documents outline <br />work allegedly performed by your company which it appears you view as outside the scope of the <br />unit price work as bid in the contract. We will assume that these documents intend to function <br />as "Claims" as defined and described by the General Conditions of the Contract. <br /> <br />Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, this letter will serve as the "Engineer's Decision" for each <br />claim as outlined in Article 10 of the General Conditions. Under this clause in the contract, we <br />are to: deny the claim in whole or in part, approve the claim, or notify the OWner and Contractor <br />that we are unable to resolve the Claim since it is inappropriate for us to do so. <br /> <br />Claim #1 (Work Order No. 3629) <br />In summary, the claim is for additional time and materials needed to correct some undesirable <br />water main installation from the original contractor at the direction of City staff. <br /> <br />As existing water main was uncovered during bolt replacement operations, the configuration of <br />the existing main and fittings was found to be undesirable and a possible trouble spot in the <br />future. Therefore, City staff directed that the issue be corrected. This directed work represents <br />a change in conditions and a justified claim. <br /> <br />Claim #2 (Work Order No. 5346) <br />In summary, the clalm is for the removal of a catch basin at the corner of 73nJ St. and Twin lakes <br />Ave. <br /> <br />The plan called for this catch basin to remain in place and to be connected to. Upon exposure of <br />the structure, it was noted that the catch basin was in poor condition and that it would be <br />possible to simply eliminate the catch basin and connect the pipes together without a new <br />structure. This work was authorized by City staff. A bid Item specific to this work does not exist, <br /> <br />St.Pau! <br />51. Cloud <br />Hochi?St4?1 <br />Milw(lllkee <br />COiCd<jiJ <br /> <br />
