ITEM TITLE Resolution 8858: Approving an Extension of Time to the Contract
for the Construction of the Box Culvert at
Hilltop Drive and Telegraph Canyon Road
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~~ ~~~~~
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES- NO x )
On June 7, 1977, the City Council, by Resolution No. 8647, awarded a
contract to Sapper Brothers, Inc.. for the construction of a triple box
culvert on Hilltop Drive near the intersection of Telegraph Canyon Road.
Section 3-02 of the contract documents requires that the contractor
complete the work before the expiration of 120 consecutive calendar
days from the date specified in the Notice of Execution of Contract
by the City. The last day for the contractor to complete the work
is November 3, 1977.
During the course of the construction, the contractor has been delayed
by the utility companies. Utilities belonging to the Sweetwater Authority,
San Diego Gas & Electric, and Pacific Telephone Company had to be supported
or temporarily highlined before the contractor could continue his work.
The contractor also experienced delays due to rain which occurred in
September.
On August 24, Sapper Brothers, Inc. submitted a letter requesting a
five day extention of time period. The contractor could not work during
this five day period because it rained for two days, and it required
three days to clean up and dry out the work site before work could
resume. On September 22, 1977, the contractor submitted a request for a
seven day extension of time because he was delayed by utility companies
doing work to support their facilities.
The Engineering staff has reviewed the requests of Sapper Brothers, Inc.
for the additional extension of time amounting to 12 days. The Engineer-
ing staff has determined that this extension of time is justified. Approv-
al of the extension of time will change the contract completion date to
