On February 1, 1973, W. H. Ledbetter & Sons, contractor for the widening
project on Hilltop Drive from Palomar Street south and on Palomar Street
from Third Avenue to Hilltop Drive, submitted a letter requesting an
additional extension of time on his contract of 8 working days due to
delays caused by inclement weather. An additional 29 working days were
lost because of work being performed by the utility companies in the
relocation of their utilities. Because of the need to relocate under-
ground gas and water facilities as well as power and telephone poles,
the contractor was unable to begin his work until November 6, 1973. It
is our opinion that this delay justifies an additional extension of time.
Under the contract, the work was to be completed by February 1, 1973.
On January 25, 1973 the Council granted an extension of time to February
14, 1973, The contractor's request for an extension of 8 working days
has been investigated and verified to be reasonable. The Engineering
Division is requesting an additional extension of 29 working days because
of delays caused by the utilities relocation. The 37 day extension, if
granted, will extend the completion date of the contract to April 9, 1973.
