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 Artide 10 of the General Conditions. Under this clause in the contract, we <br />are to: deny the daim 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. 53491 <br />In summary, the daim is for additional time and materials needed to construct CBMH #6 and #7 <br />as well as the pipe between the two structures due to the poor soils in the area and the muck <br />excavation performed under Change Order #3. <br /> <br />Duc to the nature of this work differing from normal pipe installation in that it was conducted <br />under high rate Infiltration of ground water through the recently placed wood chips and due to <br />the need for extra care in ensuring proper grade and bedding through the wood chip section, we <br />find that this claim is justified and appropriate. <br /> <br />Claim #2 fWork Order No. 48011 <br />In summary, the claim Is for the removal of driveway paver bricks at 1677 Peltier Lake Drive. <br /> <br />ThiS work was completed due to the need for a temporary by-pass road during wood chip <br />installation and is not covered by any unit price work. Therefore, the daim is justifIed. <br /> <br />2335 Highway 36 \-V <br />51. P.~u'.
