Penick and Sons has requested a 71 day extension of the contract time for the General Roca Drainage Channel project. The contract was awarded by Council Resolution #8927. The extension of time was requested because of inclement weather. Even though there were only 18 rainy days between January 16, 1978, date of notice to start work, and March 27, 1978, date actual work commenced, the rain was spaced such that it was impossible to work in the bottom of an existing drainage channel. The rains also prevented Sweetwater Authority from lowering their water main in "C" Street so that the new box culvert would clear over the top of the main. Sweetwater Authority lowered the water main on March 13, 1978. In addition to the lowering of the water main, it was necessary to move a combination power and telephone pole out of the box culvert area. Again, it was located near the necessary starting point, being 15 feet upstream from the low end of the project. The power company set a new pole, trans- ferred off the old pole on February 16, 1978; however, the telephone company did not transfer off the old pole and move it until March 17, 1978. Between March 17, 1978 and April 7, 1978, there were an additional seven rainy days. The Division of Engineering has reviewed the request by T.B. Penick and Sons and has determined that a 71 day extension of time of contract is justified. The extension of time will chancre the contract completion date to June 26, 1978.
