Caldwell, Idaho, March Z, 1910.
The Honorable Mayor and City Coun-
Gil, Caldwell, Idaho.
Gentlemen: Referring to CONVEX
sation the writer had with the Mayor
regarding the change in the conditions
of excavation and fill on the streets
| included in our contract with the city
of Caldwell for paving district number
l, said change being due to the recent
flood and resulting wash-outs, would
say that we have taken the matter up
with our officers and they have au-
thorized me to agree to the following,
realizing that the City has been al
ready damaged to a large extent by
tho flood, this proposition being made
in the spirit of compromise and fair
play.
We will accept tho conditions as
they exist in the district, and make
tho necessary cuts and fills through
out the district so as to bring the
finished surface of the sub-grade of
the street pavement to the exact con-
tour of the finished sub-grade. We
will make these fills in layers not to
exceed nine inches, thoroughly roll
ing each layer with a roller weighing
ten tons. thus providing a solid SUBJ
base and assuring permanent salts
factory results. We will do this work
without any charge for same over and
above the Engineers original esti-
mated cost of the excavation in the
district. Said estimate being 12,900.-
20 cubic yards.
Under our contract with the City
we arc not responsible for "Acts of
God" which have caused these wash
outs and believe wo could maintain a
claim for extra work to cover same,
but we are not disposed to do so. We
arc making this offer to the City of
Caldwell in tho Same spirit in which
we last year offered 10 the City of
Nampa to stand tho expense of the
Nampa fire. where the same damaged
the pavement, and If your Honorable
body sees fit to accept this PROPOSE
ton, wo will consider the matter set
tied and will accept in total payment
for all excavation and FILL payment
on tho Engineers original estimate
as above set forth, without any in
crease in the unit contract price for
excavation and fill.
This proposition does not include
tho digging out and re-tamping, with
suitable material, all soft and spongy
material, payment for which is pro-
vided for in the specifications.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN CONSTRUCTION CO.,
