The substantial completion date for this project was September 30, 2009, per Article 4.02 of the Agreement Form. Articie 1, SC-1.01.A4S of the Supplementary Conditions states: The Work is considered Substantially Complete when the following have been completed: Restoration, Wear Course Paving, Saw and Seal Transverse Joints, and Major Punch List Work. Your letter requests extensions to the Substantial Completion date based on an enumerated list off actors. We will address each, In the same sequence as your letter. Our responses are: 1. This work was addressed In Change Order #1, which clearly indicates that there was no extension to the completion date associated with the change order. 2. We will review the accuracy of this information and the appropriateness of the extension. 3. We agree that there were some field changes made to accommodate resident concems. We do not feel that these changes constitute 3 full days of delay since they involved only small equipment and a limited crew. This work did not affect your ability to continue working on other aspects of the job. 4. The changes made to the design of this storm sewer run did not significantly change the scope of work. Furthermore, your crews did not sit idle while changes were made. They were working on other work of the project in a reasonable and efficient manner. Additionally, the project was not bid with the benefit of right-of-entry's promised to the contractor. The work was bid with the stipulation that you construct the improvements within existing easements and rights-of-way. It was your prerogative to wait for a right- of -entry in order to make your work easier.
