A. Schifsky and Sons requesting an extension of contract completion date from the specified September 1, 1995 to September 15, 1995. They cite delay due to wet weather as the justification. Background I The contract was awarded on May 2, 1995. The specified completion date is September 1, 1995, The contract provided that liquidated damages will be charged at $400 per calendar day for each day the work is not completed. The work consists primarily of blacktopping but also contains minor drainage improvements which must be completed prior to the paving. As of this date, all the drainage work is completed, but none of the paving work has started. One of the reasons we set September 1, 1995 as the completion date is so that we would have approximately two weeks to calculate the costs for preparation of assessments. If we do not have the final costs, we must assess based on estimates which is undesirable. We would like to report final costs tb you On September 19 and call the assessment hearing for October 17. If the contractor completes work on September 15 as requested, this will give us three days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) to prepare the final costs prior to the September 19 Council Meeting. Action Requested ]Determine if a time extension should be granted or whether liquidated damages will be imposed. Sincerely, Larry D. Bohrer, P.E. LDB/mha Enclosure
