Re:
East Beltline Road
Project WA 94-01
Dear Mr. Griffins
There is some disagreement regarding the final payquantity for Pay
Item #5, "Bore and Install Pipe beneath Boltline Road". The
quantity shown in the proposal is 235.6 LF. The actual measured
quantity in the field is 262 LF, an overrun of 26.4 LF, or 11.2%.
This translates to a cost overrun of $3,212.09, on this pay item.
There are two reasons for the overrun. Initially, 11 feet was
added to move thebeginning and endingbore points a minimum of ten
feet from back of curb. Secondly, the estimated length established
in the proposal is short by approximately 15 LF, as measured
between the original bore limits.
I have enclosed revised Estimate No. 3, which invoices the City for
262 LF instead of 251 LF.
I feel that this pay quantity if fair and I fail to understand the
reluctance of the City to pay it since this is a unit price
contract. If the City decides not to pay the invoiced amount,
please give us written notice so that we can properly appeal.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Houston L. Cavin
Project Manager
