Project Number 104--230001-146.
Contract Time
Time charges show the contractor used 10 Working Days in addition to the
time allotted. However, no liquidated damages are recommended because the
contractor suffered considerable loss of time and could not prosecute his
work in a normal manner at the railroad crossing because the right of entry
on the railroad right-of-way was not obtained until the project was almost
complete. The plank crossing and warning devices still have not been
completed by the railroad, and the contractor, in cooperation with the City,
has continued to provide the necessary barricades to keep the road closed
(to safeguard the public) since the project was completed on August 31, 1977.
Deviation from Bid Price
The final contract cost of this project is $2,416.66 or 1% over the revised
bid price. The increase is attributed to� minor variations between quantities
estimated in the Contract Specifications and quantities measured and used
at the job site.
