Keith,
I have reviewed your email and feel that an area was not mentioned which accounts for 444
SY of sod. This are is the north side of Bethel Rd between Knights Way and Denton Tap,
sta 49 +00 - 53 +00 and I used 10 as average width, but per grass measurement sheet average
in area is 10.4. Due to slopes and trees removed in this area a larger area had to be
disturbed and graded according to allow the grades to work from existing wall to sidewalk
and from added wall to existing wall.
It is my opinion that this area should be accounted for also and noted we did have several
meeting on site with Larry Davis and were told to remove the additional trees because
neither the sidewalk nor grades were going to work as shown on the plans. JRJ feels that
there were some areas were needed to perform their work, but can assure you that those
additional areas were minimal. JRJ i asking that you account for the area mentioned
above and per your calculation of ';:.?accept the additionah '4 a,nd allow this to be
added to the pay application for p nt. / ,
Thank you, ! } � '-i 08

Dean,
I have reviewed the materials you have submitted for sod calculations. As you know, this
item was listed in the specifications as a "Plans Quantity" item. Section 1 -14 of the
contract indicates in bold underlined print "If an item is noted as a 'Plans Quantity'
then only the quantity shown in the unit bid price schedule will be paid."
These items are essentially lump sum items with an estimated quantity provided. The city
does this in order to protect ourselves from quantity over -run when a contractor disturbs
area beyond what is required for the project.
In the case of this project, the scope of the project was changed through the issuance of
four change orders. Each of these changes impacted the area that was disturbed, and as
such could have included an increase in sod quantity. In reviewing these changes, I
propose the following adjustment to the "Plan Quantity ". If you are in agreement, please
reflect this new total on your next pay request.
Original Sod Quantity: 2,225 SY
Remove driveway on Denton Tap - (34 *4.5)/9 = 17 SY Eliminate storm connection in Denton
Tap - (27 *9)/9 = 27 SY Rework Paving at Chateaus Drive = 127 SY Install Drainage pipe &
Inlets between Armstrong & Bridge - (8 *120)/9 = 107 SY Install Aerial Crossing - (15*
