CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: Apri 1 1 0, 197 3
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Granting Extension of Time for Traffic Signal
Interconnect Project (TOPICS)
INITIATED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
BACKGROUND
A letter has been received from Mr. Wayne E. Brown, Manager,
Traffic Control Systems for Econolite Corporation, the
contractor for subject project. He is requesting an extension
of time for the completion of subject project from April 23,
1973 to July 17, 1973. This is an extension of 85 calendar days.
The basis for their request for time extension is that they
are experiencing serious delivery difficulties from their
material vendors. Mr. Brown indicates that they have offered
these vendors premium time to expedite deliveries but to no
avail. It is also indicated that they have sought alternate
sources but the component industry is experiencing an order
deluge and normal delivery estimates are commonly being ex-
tended. Considerable documentation has been provided to sustain
their claims.
Heretofore Econolite has proceeded expeditiously in the con-
struction of their contracted project. All documentation has
been reviewed by the Engineering Division and appears to justify
their claims.
