WORTH, TX FORTWORTHO TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS May 18, 2023 Select Maintenance, LLC PO Box 1130 Euless, Tx 76039 Attention: Troy A. Ragle Vice -President SUBJECT: Risinger Road Paving and Traffic Signal Improvements at IH-35 City Project No.: C-01811, CSN 54014 Troy, I have not heard from you regarding findings by the company from staff document review as you indicated in your last email on May 4. It is apparent that the City and Select Maintenance cannot reach agreement on the final contract amount. At this time, the City must close the project and will do so in conformance with the terms of the final offer the City made by letter dated April 7, 2023. The City will also process the last invoice dated Sept 30, 2022 for the period of October 1, 2021 through Sept 30, 2022. As indicated on the April letter, the amount of Liquidated Damages is $63,192.68, which exceeds the amount retained by the City to date. In lieu of Select Maintenance writing a check for the balance of $16,458.00, the City will retain that same amount from invoice No. 7. Thus, we will issue a final payment of $177,809.64 and close the contract. The table included in that letter is duplicated below. Invoice No. 7 Amount $194,267.64 Total to be retained by City $63,192.68 Retainage held to date (including Invoice No. 7) $46,734.68 Amount to be retained from Inv No. 7 ($16,458.00) Final Payment Amount $177,809.64 The Notice of Project Completion (Green Sheet) was sent to you via Adobe Acrobat Sign on 4/10/2023 and you have to date declined to sign it or provide the associated affidavit of bills paid and consent of surety. We are proceeding as such and will so indicate on the final close-out documents. 4E.
