May 18, 1973 Environmental Protection Agency 1600 Patterson Street Suite 1100 Dallas, Texas 75201 Through: Texas Water Quality Board Ref: Georgetown Sanitary Sewer Improvements 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. J EC:br cc: W. H. Mullins, Inc. Sincerely, Joe E. Crawford, Mayor City of Georgetown Roy A. Krienke- Motion by Brock and seconded by Wininger that a bill in the amount of Estimate #1 $11,847.24 for Estimate #1, from Roy A. Krienke, be approved and paid.

Mullins- Motion by Gold and seconded by Eanes that a bill in the amount of Engineering Fees $199.09 from W. H. Mullins, Inc., for engineering fees, be approved and paid. Motion carried by unanimous vote. One Hour Parking City Manager Wood and Chief Shearin recommended one hour parking for the downtown area. The City Council and Mayor Crawford then instructed City Attorney Joe McMaster to prepare the ordinance which will be considered at the next regular council meeting. If approved it will not take effect until September 1, 1973.
