" The following ruling by the City Attorney was read and upon motion by Lemnan second by Amundsen it was accepted and the City Clerk was authorized and directed to make request of the Public Utility Board that they pay into the Sewer Fund the $717 86 balance inv olved: " City Attorhey's Office g CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA James TO -Spillane, City Attorney October 22, 1934 Honorable Mayor and Common Council City of Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: The matter of the $1507:ZB cltaim of Fraser & Feller for the balance due on the North Broadway trunk line sanitary sewer 493 having been referred to me for investigation and report as to its legality, the following report and recommendation is submitted: That on the sworn billing of Fraser & Feller to the City of Rochester on the adjustment for extra work on said sewer it was stated that they had removed 1538.08 sq. ft. or. 17009 sq. yd. of pavement, 414 sq. ft. or 46 sq. yd. of drive- ways and 293.12 sq. ft. or 32.57 sq. yd. of sidewalk during the construc- tion of said sewer line: On October 69 1934 the City Engineer in his report of cost showed the same amounts for pavement and driveways but made an error of the sidewalk item by increasing .it from 293.12 sq. ft. to 3550,5 sq. ft. . At this ^time it was •apparently assumed by the City Engineer that there were to be no increases in the quantities of the pavement, driveways i and sidewalks removals and replacements as none were provided for in the reported cost of the Engineer. Consequently, the Common Council made arrangements to obtain h'eeessary' f�ndA, to -pgy'fo..i the cost of said work on the basis of the report of the City Engineer and during October of 1933 the Council had no reason to believe that the quantities of pavements, driveways and sidewalks removal and replacements would be increased and made no arrangements for such increased cost, if any. It might be well at this time to note that the Engineer's report of October 69 1934 should be corrected on the sidewalk item as t o yardage and total amount as the report now shows the cost of $299751�16 when the correct amount, AcQordin g too my computations, should read $290737.30 as there was enldverpayment of $13086 in the amount j shown for sidewalk removal and replacement in the reports Daring the winter of 1933 and 1934 ,the above mentioned quantities were greatly increased, the pavement replacement item by 931 sq. yd , the driveway replacement item by 2&33 sq:4 yd: and the sidewalk replacement item by 66.50 sq* yd., which computed at the contract prices of 65 009 $3 ;00 and 02:00 per sq. yd. for removal and replacement amount to a total unforeseen addition to the Engineer's report of cost of $683-i41 It is obvious that the pavement, driveways and sidewalk could not be replaced by the contractors until the job had had time to settle and it is also obvious that the contractors are not to blame for the increased quanti- ties apparently caused by settling and traffic over the line of the trench. It is also obvious that the City of Rochester is not to blame for the j settling of the trenoh, which apparently caused considerable breaking down of the pavement, driveways and sidewalks abutting the trench. , The complete estimate of the City Engineer under date of June 20, 1934, shows these increased items of pavement driveway and sidewalk removal and replacement in a total amount of $683.49 more than.was included in his report of cost of October 6, 19349, The only information gn file regarding the increased quantities is the complete and final estimate under date of June 20, 1934, and, while the amount of these quantities according to that estimate may seem large to the Common Counoil, there is nothing in the record to show that as a matter of fact the quantities listed in the June 2091934 final estimate are not as a j matter of fact the proper quantities and all that the Common Council can do at ' this time is to pay the claim as presented: I trust this is the -information required by the Common Council and I recommend that the claim be allowed in full in the sum of $1507 68. Respectfully submitted, James T Spillane City Attorney 0 494 Ir The Witt, Clerk addressed the Public Utility Board ss follows: "Qctober 23919340, Public Utility Board, City of Ro ch6ster; Minnesota: Attention: Ai J: Lentfer, Secretary*, Gentlemen: In October919339 when you made an appropriation of $4906.09 toward the cost of the Broadway Street North Trunk Line Sanitary Sewer, between Thirteenth .Street and Fourth Street, that amount set up what was still due the contractors as 5% with- hold, and for the replacing of paving, driveways and sidewalks. On October ,16th,193i, the Common Council appropriated 023050-93 to C.G.Fraser and L.M.Feller, which was 'the amount due them under City Engineer' Certificate, their -sworn billing,etc., up to t1fat date, except a reservation of $1433.98 due them as !� 5% held for guarantee of street repair, etc., $623.79 for 1934 i �! replacing of paving, ,$104.88 for 1934 replacing oP driveways, and ' $61.42 for 1934 replacing of sidewalks, after the payment of their $374401 claim for extras; or in other words, the City of Rochester owed them an additional $222447 at such time as the replacements !! were made and the maintenance guarantee expiration.' ' Small items in connection with the construction of this Project were paid and in June, 1934, it Van found, upon the City Engineer presenting certificate relative to the replacement of PATMg.,itdriveways and sidewalks, that the areas originally removed had grown very materially over winter, and under this certificate $1399,90 was paid to the contractors upon the said City Engineer's estimate,, and now the contractors have filled a sworn claim for $1507466 as being the amount due them as final payment for this Project There is only $78980 on hand in the City Treasury for payment, toward this $1607A6 claim, and consequently, the Common Council have made respectful request that your Board consider making an appropriation of $7176,86 to the Sewer Fund to make up the differences Will you please take this request under consideration, and make a reply on or'before 7:30 o'clock P:M., October 29th,1934, because at that time the Common Council will make a Tax Levy for the additional money required to pay this amount, or will make approval for your appropriation of the $717,i86.
