ITEM TITLE Resolution 9103 Granting Extension of Time, General Roca
Drainage Channel
w ~y~ ~,
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer /~~
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NOxx )
T.B. 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.
