Engineers estimate had factored in the cost of hauling and disposal. Our estimate for this line item did not take into consideration a potential buyer for the purchase of the excavated material. The unit price for this line item as per Engineers Estimate was $18.00, Haddock Construction Company, Inc., was $17.50, and Lindsey Construction, Inc.,was $9.50. Based on their previous performance on City of Pearland Construction Project, and information on their performance obtained from other sources, S&B has determined that Lindsey Construction, Inc., is a responsible bidder in good standing. Other sources included reference from Alfred E. Lentz (713-839-8900) who represents Brazoria Drainage District No. 4 and Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District as the District Engineer, and information on Internet. Therefore, it is our recommendation that the project be awarded to Lindsey Construction, Inc., as the lowest bidder with the bid of$519,211.00. • • Sincerely, S&B Infrastructure,Ltd. (YCULW .

Upon receipt of a written request for an extension of the Contract Time from the CONTRACTOR, supported by relevant and all requested documentation, the ENGINEER shall submit such written request, together with his written recommendation, to the OWNER for consideration. If the delay is not attributable in whole or in part to any act or omission of CONTRACTOR, its subcontractors or suppliers, and if the OWNER determines that CONTRACTOR is entitled to an extension of time under the terms of the Contract, the OWNER shall grant an extension of time for Substantial Completion of the Work, sufficient to compensate for the delay, and such extension of time shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy, except as may be otherwise provided herein.

Should the OWNER suffer damage by reason of any other breach by CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may recover such actual damages in addition to any liquidated damages due. The OWNER shall have the right to deduct and withhold the amount of any and all such damages whether it be the minimum amount stipulated above or otherwise, from any monies owing by it to said CONTRACTOR, or the OWNER may recover such amount from the CONTRACTOR and the sureties of his bond; all of such remedies shall be cumulative and the OWNER shall not be 7°`, required to elect any one nor be deemed to have made an election by proceeding to enforce any one remedy. 5.06 CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME: The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order.

Should the cost to complete the Work exceed the Contract Price, and the CONTRACTOR 05/2008 00700-32 of 36 CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT and/or his surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time designated above, and (1.1"\, there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies which are the property of CONTRACTOR on the site of the Work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials, shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his surety at the respective addresses designated in the Contract, provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition.
