April 29, 1992 3 City of Little Canada Note Architectural Field Report #13 dated 2/20/92 indicating all trades at approximately 80% complete and an expected completion of three weeks or 3/22/91. Field Report #14 shows 90% completion on 3/7/91 for the Addition. No interior work on anything but the entry was started at this point. The City moved into the front portion of the Council Chambers the week of 3/25/91, still down roughly the three week time period. At this point it was determined by both the City and the Construction Manager that the City staff would only move once from their current areas into the new area, but this would not occur until the new front arrived. This process, although it would slow the completion of the remodeled area, would be the best for the City and would not cause hardship on any of the contractors and we could complete the remodel area "hand in hand" with the finishes at the Fire Station. Preliminary walk -thru was completed 4/15/92 with you and myself at the new portion. Kraus- Anderson received your correction /punchlist dated 6/21/91 approximately four weeks from the scheduled completion. Architect's final punchlist was not issued until 7/12/91 after your relocation in the Addition. This project did not meet the overall time frame as anticipated. Although the Addition was approximately four weeks behind, the Fire Station was still requiring Supervision due to time delays as indicated for that project. Therefore we feel the time frame extension for Supervision as projected since January 1991 and billed as of our final billing to the City be approved without further delay. I trust that you can see that these problems, all unrelated to Kraus- Anderson's management of the project, caused total delays of approximately twelve to fourteen weeks - -a huge amount of time on a six -month project. I hope that this information will allow you to recommend approval of the additional fees for which you have been billed. Very truly yours, KRAS -AN O► CON •UCTION COMPANY ames D.
