La Porte, Texas 77571
NORTHSIDE WATER AND SEWER, JOB NUMBER 72-859
Gentlemen, with the exception of final "clean-up" and trench
repair, hFcKey Construction and Equipment Rental Company has
• satisfactorily completed this project. Because of continuing
wet conditions it has been impossible for him to complete the
remaining items of work.
It is my recommendation that we suspend the time on the contract
until weather conditions are more favorable. I think that it
would be appropriate to pay all of the contract amount except
$10,000.00 which would be retained by the City until the remain-
ing work is completed.
I have prepared partial estimate Number Four for your considera-
tion. This estimate is subject to minor change by final field
measurement.
