Bonestroo <br /> <br />Bob Vollhaber <br />Forest Lake Contracting <br />14777 Lake Drive <br />Forest Lake, MN 55025 <br /> <br />Re: Peltier Lake Drive Area Street and utility Improvements <br />Qty of Centervllle <br />aient Project No.: 2009.01 <br />Bonestroo File No.: 000616-lJ9169-0 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Vollhaber: <br /> <br />Since we addressed the last set of claims (letter dated 8{11{09), we are in receipt of three more <br />documents entitled "Equipment Rental - Force Account" submitted to Bonestroo by your office. <br />Each document has a "Work Order No.". These documents outline work allegedly performed by <br />your company which It appears you view as outside the scope of the unit price work as bid in the <br />contract. We will assume that these documents Intend to function as "Claims" as defined and <br />described by the General Conditions of the Contract. <br /> <br />Additionally, the owner (Oty of Centerville) has issued claims to our office, requesting several <br />price reductions, for which your office has responded with appropriate information. <br /> <br />Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, this letter will serve as the "Engineer's Decision" for each <br />claim (both yours and the owners') as outlined in Article 10 of the General Conditions. Under this <br />clause in the contract, we are to: deny the claim in whole or in part, approve the claim, or notify <br />the Owner and Contractor that we are unable to resolve the Claim since It is inappropriate for us <br />to do so. <br /> <br />Claim #6 (City-initiated Claim) <br />Per Change Order #1, contracting requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act <br />(ARRA) were added to the job in order to keep the City eligible for certain funding. The Oty has <br />recently learned that this project was not selected to be funded through this program. <br />Therefore, they requested a deduction for savings realized if these requirements were lifted <br />effective immediately. Your office provided pricing for this deduction. We concur with this <br />pricing and approve the claim. <br /> <br />Claim #7 (City-initiated Claim) <br />You have asked to substitute hydroseeding{hydromulching for the specified wood fiber blanket in <br />the rain gardens. The City has allowed this substitution with a unit price reduction. Your office <br />provided pricing for this reduction. We concur with this pridng and approve the daim. <br /> <br />51 Palll <br />St, (Iouri <br />IlClchestt'1 <br />MilwalJ~l:'e <br />Cr-.icago <br /> <br />
