Dear Ms. Phan,
This letter is to follow-up the change order request submitted on
September 1, 2005 concerning the clearing bid item for Kirby Dr Extension.
"Due to confusion surrounding the bid item for clearing, an insufficient
bid quantity was considered and submitted. An item in the bid instructions
stated that clearing from Fruge Rd. to Beltway 8 was incidental to the
project; however, a bid item remained for clearing which stated in the
measurement and payment portion of the specifications to be paid for by
the acre. It is not customary to have one bid item with two methods of
payment.
This issue was worsened by the inability to burn the trees taken from the
project site.
Contrary to the design engineer's assertion, the area in question is not
open grassland, but includes significant numbers of large trees. Neither
the bid instructions nor the plans state that vegetation would have to be
removed from the site. As a result, we have been forced to hire a
subcontractor to dispose of the trees in this area. We request
reimbursement for the additional costs incurred, which are $45,000 ($4,500
per acre for 10 acres). This is only the costs we have incurred in the
disposal of the trees in the area in question, not having any added
overhead or profit. We are simply requesting reimbursement to recoup the
additional clearing costs."
We respectfully request a change order be issued to cover the $45,000 for
this item.
We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to
settlement of this issue.
Should you require further information, please advise.
Sincerely,
HASSELL CONSTRUCTION CO., INC.
6,331.

Project Manager
