Background:
The contract work for the gravity sewer in Fifth Avenue and "C" Street
has been completed by the contractor, R.S. Construction Company,
11078 "B" Via San Marco, San Diego, CA 92129, in accordance with the
contract agreement dated May 22, 1972.
The City Council, at its meeting of July 25, 1972, extended the completion
date of this project to August 23, 1972. The gravity sewer commenced
operation on August 29, 1972 and "C" Street was open to through traffic
in late afternoon on September 1, 1972. It is recommended that the con-
tractor be assessed liquidated damages of $50 per day for 9 days,
August 24 to September 1, 1972 per the terms of the contract. Assessment
of liquidated damages is justified upon the basis of cost actually
incurred by the City and the traveling public during the time between the
specified completion date and the date when normal traffic flow was
resumed. Actual costs to the public have been determined by the Division
of Engineering, to total well in excess of the $450 proposed to be
assessed.
Actual Costs Include:
1. Additional maintenance and operation of "C" St. pump station.
2. Inconvenience to the traveling public.
3. Public Works inspection personnel costs.
A final inspection was made on October 11, 1972 and all of the public
improvements in the project have been completed to the satisfaction of
the Public Works Director and in accordance with the requirements of
the City.
