We did not get a notice to proceed until June 19, 1979. No <br /> additional time was alloted to complete project. We then had to contract <br /> with Elk River Concrete Co. to construct concrete box culverts, contract <br /> with grading contractor who had some delay getting started as to prior <br /> commitments, also same with underground contractor. <br /> The box culverts were not completed and delivered until September of 1979 <br /> due to delay in awa:-�? of contract. We also had a change order to construct <br /> a retaining wall as an extra item to the contract which we were not able <br /> to get a subcontractor to even start this project in 1979. Buffalo Bituminous <br /> d.id get the bulk of the work completed and road opened for use of City in <br /> November, 1979. <br /> Buffalo Bituminous will not accept any liquidated damages on this project� <br /> and you will also note that under the law we are required to be paid <br /> month.�y, and if not paid on es�imate we are entitled to interest on amounts <br /> not paid. We fully intend to complete project by Ju�y 1� 1980, and do not <br /> see where there is any breach of contract. Note; The grading contractor <br /> had other obligations and had to leave project for about two xeeks, which <br /> would not possibly have happened if an award had been made promptly. <br /> We will welcome a meeting between our company, Glen Cook, City Attorney <br /> and any other interested parties. <br /> Very tru�y yours� <br /> G�/LZ-C-�/'f j���(s'JZQ) <br /> � . /J� <br /> Darrell Hicks ��L�-��-�`"� <br /> Buffalo Biturninous <br /> DH�do <br />
