Project WPC-TEX-703
21.4
Gentlemen:
This letter is to advise you of the status of this project which was to have been com-
pleted by November 26, 1972.
The contractor on the project, F. E. Holloman Excavating Company, was unable
to complete the project by that date although a substantial time increase had been
granted him by the City.
Under claims for an increase in the unit price for rock excavation and 300 day time
extension, he abandoned the project and the City has been forced to secure
another contractor to complete the project using the posted Performance Bond.
Since the bonding company has failed to cooperate in this matter, the City has
been forced to proceed cautiously in securing another contractor and solicited
bids from four contractors including the previous, original, unsuccessful bidder
on the project. Mr. Roy Krienke was awarded the project recently and is pro-
ceeding with completion of the job.
Thus, his name appears on the monthly estimate and certification. All labor
provisions, etc., of the F. E. Holloman contract are being maintained as it is
the opinion of the City that this is Mr. Holloman's contract being completed
by others and not a new contract.
The City is looking toward the bonding company and Mr. Holloman to pay all
additional cost on the project above what the City would have paid Mr. Holloman.
Mr. Krienke expects to complete the project in 100 calendar days.
If you have any question, please call me.
