071001 - Follow up
071002 -
071003 - Clyde wants a log of change orders and claims showing status.
071004 -
071005 - I indicated I should have done this.  Other business has kept
071006 - putting it back.  But it really should be done for the reasons
071007 - Clyde advanced, and should be maintained daily.
071008 -
071009 - Clyde explained the scope:
071010 -
071011 -    Should show original contract price and completion dates, then it
071012 -    should show changes todate, so the currently approved contract
071013 -    price and completion dates are clear.
071014 -
071015 -    Exposure to claims should be presented to indicate possible
071016 -    adjusted contract price and completion dates, including potential
071017 -    presumed damages.
071018 -
071019 -
0711 -
0712 - ëP48Q Times of Completion Status
0713 -
071301 - Clyde made a significant point that when contract milestones (e.g.
071302 - Sections 01110) occur, the Engineer needs to have documentation in
071303 - the record that shows whether the date is adjusted or that the
071304 - Contractor is held to the contract date.
071305 -
071306 - He believes that failure to specifically inform the Contractor that
071307 - the Contract requirement has not been adjusted or affirmed, there-
071308 - after waives the requirement.
071309 -
071310 - Does this mean that if adjustments have not been established
071311 - because of pending changes, then to affirm the Contract requirement
071312 - the Engineer must commence withholding liquidated damages?
071313 - ..
071314 - Undoubtedly it is material for both parties to have in the
071315 - record the Engineer's opinion about the times of completion, and that
071316 - this should not be left to speculation.
071317 -
071318 - In the the Sletten contract, the contractor could be notified the
071319 - September 11, completion date is the requirement until evidence is
071320 - submitted showing it should be adjusted.  The theory is that mere
071321 - requests for time extensions are not sufficient to justify changing
071322 - contract times of completion.

121101 - Sletten Contract
121102 -
121103 - Jeff is meeting with Bill Merriman next Tuesday to discuss Sletten's
121104 - needs change order matters, including adjusting the times of
121105 - completion for the 0951 contract.
121106 -
121107 - He advised of his understanding that Sletten has been pursuing a large
121108 - claim on a job in Neveda (this must be the one Bill Merriman mentioned
121109 - the other day in connection with Gracon's access across the
121110 - cofferdam), and that they recently decided to abandon it.
121111 -
121112 - Clyde feels they may be expecting to concentrate their claim resources
121113 - on this job.
121114 -
121115 -

1212 -
1213 - Respond to Voith
1214 -
121401 - Clyde and Jeff want a letter informing Voith they are obligated to
121402 - perform the contract, rejecting their proposals of 880927 and 881005
121403 - (a FAX that came in yesterday).
121404 -
121405 - Voith's request for time extension is not accepted.
121406 -
121407 - Jeff advised that when he visited Voith in York last week, Greg Snyder
121408 - told him that Voith decided 6 months ago to delay the Broadwater work,
121409 - without notice to Tudor, because they expected that Sletten would not
121410 - be ready on time.
121411 - ..
121412 - We reviewed the challenge of suddenly relying on the contract
121413 - when the record has not been developed on the Voith matter.  Where for
121414 - example, is the record of the recent meeting with Voith, discussed on
121415 - 880921? ref SDS 2 8526
121416 -
121417 - Clyde asked if I can go ahead and prepare an effective directive to
121418 - Voith on the matters at hand.
121419 -
121420 - I will work on this with Jeff and provide a draft for Clyde to
121421 - review.
121422 -
121423 -
121424 -
121425 -  ..
121426 - DTL Reviewed Findings Showing DNRC Has Minimal Exposure
121427 -
121428 - Clyde feels this is an area of considerable exposure.  He asked me
121429 - about the status.
121430 -
121431 - I explained the work is complete through a 2nd draft of Findings...
121432 - ref 26.  Clyde has seen the document, but has not had a chance to go
121433 - through it.
121434 -
121435 - I need about a week to write the argument.  I have not felt it is
121436 - needed now because Sletten has been issued a Decision which intends
121437 - that the Contractor submit its costs and time claimed for evaluation.
121438 - At that time, an argument would be needed to more fully support the
121439 - Engineer's decision.
121440 - ..
121441 - Clyde is concerned that the Engineer may have exposure because
121442 - the specification failed to disclose the tolerances in the 880803
121443 - Determination.
121444 -
121445 - I reminded him that, if, as alleged, Voith consulted in preparing the
121446 - specification, then it may be accountable for Sletten's expense
121447 - resulting from defective bidding materials on the grounds that Voith
121448 - failed to inform Tudor of the correct tolerances. Additionally, if
121449 - Voith's representations to Tudor regarding needed tolerances are not
121450 - supported by objective evidence, then Voith may be liable for the
121451 - extra expense as a matter it initiated for its own convenience.

121463 - Inspector is notifying the Contractor, but is not reporting these
121464 - occassions in the job reports.
121465 -
121466 - Jeff advised he will discuss it with Larry, but that he is kind of

121472 -
121473 - Jeff confirmed he wants this done next week.
121474 -
121475 - I explained the advantage of hiring an outside firm that specializes
121476 - in this work, so I can focus on gathering and positioning the record
121477 - to "fix" the job, as Clyde and I discussed on 880815. ref SDS 1 0770
121478 -
121479 - We reviewed the recommendation on a CPM schedule discussed with Clyde
121480 - on 880921, and why it is essential to apply resources for planning to
121481 - complete the remaining work, as well as to prepare as-builts under
121482 - discussion today. ref SDS 2 4896
121483 -
121484 - Clyde asked me to do this, and feels the as-built need not be very
121485 - detailed.  He suggested using Sletten's 880908 submittal and marking
121486 - the dates of actual concrete pours.
121487 - ..
121488 - Jeff explained the advantages he sees in developing an as-built
121489 - based entirely on Tudor's job records.
121490 -
121491 - I indicated the PSR's and concrete pour records I have seem to be
121492 - adequate for this task.  JoAnne has mailed this stuff to my SF
121493 - address.
121494 - ..
121495 - Jeff believes that if Tudor presents a credible as-built in
121496 - negotiations with Sletten, they will be persuaded to accept Tudor's
121497 - position.
121498 -
121499 -     [On 890317 Tudor accepted Sletten's as-built CPM. ref SDS 5 8594]

260516 - continue to need access across the cofferdam to service its pumps.

270606 - he had trouble the other day, but he feels it will likely be okay now
