An official of a Washington
contracting company charged
yesterday that delays by the
District government of more
than four years in acting on
some Of his company's claims
totaling 100000 has forced
him to discontinue bidding on
city jobs.
Delays in processing contrac-
tors claims have also been q
major factor in a request made
recently by the District chap
ter Of the Associated General
Contractors of America, Inc,
for O revision of certain city
contract provisions and proce-
dures.
A spokesman for the gen.
eral contractors commended that
some companies no longer COM
pete for city jobs because Of
the problems they face here.
Curbs Under Fire
Robert A. Meyer, president
Of the District chapter Of the
national general contractors
organization, says fatty that
"the District has an inadequate
supply of bidders" on construc-
ton Jobs. -
Engineering Com missioner
Frederick J. Clarke conceded
that the progress made re-
Gently in settling contractors
claims Is not the rate Of prog
ress I would like to see.
I'VE are trying to speed up
settlement Of claims by simpli-
flying procedures and we are
trying to get additional per-
sonnet to handle these mat
ters."
Rexford G. Vessels, District
procurement officer, said that
"our competition on construc-
ton jobs is down some over a
year ago."
However, Mr.. Vessels said
that tIpS.e are probably seceral
reasons why the number Of
bids per job has fallen off.
District officials dispute the
statement by d. w. Gunnell,
vice president Of the Gunnell
Construction Co., that his
claims against the city total as
much as $500, 900.
The claims by GuDaell and
other companies are made by
contractors when. for example,
they believe a change in de-
sign made by the District after
a contract is awarded costs
IAiSAA hAOiC AAAOilCys
Items Under Dispute
Disputes also arise sometimes
when q contractor fails to meet
a contract deadline for COM
pletion Of a project and the
District deducts money from
his final payment as a penalty.
II the contractor feels he has
been treated unfairly by a de-
partment contracting officer,
he files a claim with the Dis
trict Appeals Board. A total OF
1873 claims. including one for
s527,728 by a New York COM
pany. are now pending before
the board.
Lee Dante. the assistant
corporation counsel who serves
as board chairman, says that
the number OF claims filed
with the board has increased
sharply in recent years.
Mr.. Dante and a secretary
comprise the staff for the
board office. Mr.. Dante said
his repeated requests for addi-
tional staff 10 help handle the
rising volume Of appeals. some
OF them extremely complicated
and voluminous, have been un-
successful.
Mr.. Gunnell said that some
OF his company's claims have
been on file with the Contract
Appeals Board since 1857. He
