AGENDA ITEM N0. [ 7 ]
Resolution - Granting an Extension of Time for Hilltop Drive-
Palomar Street Widening - Gas Tax Project #147
Director of Public Works/City Engineer
On April 25, 1973, W. H. Ledbetter and Sons, contractor for the
widening project on Hilltop Drive from Palomar Street south and on
Palomar Street from Hilltop Drive to Third Avenue submitted a letter
requesting an additional extension of time on his contract of 19 working
days due to inclement weather during the month of March.
On April 10, 1973 the City Council granted a 16-day extension of time
which covered most of the inclement weather experienced by the con-
tractor for the month of March. The Engineering Division does not agree
that an additional 19 day extension is warranted because the contractor
is including lost days covered under the extension of time granted on
April 10, 1973. The contractor, however, is entitled to an extension
of 10 days because of the demands made upon his paving contractor sub-
sequent to the inclement weather and inability to get him on the job
according to schedule. The project is essentially completed with only
clean-up and corrective work remaining to be accomplished.
It is recommended that only 10 working days be added to the contract to
allow for completion. of the clean-up work. The extension, if granted,
will change the contract completion date to May 11, 1973.
