530710 - Bob Johnston said Dutra believes it is impossible to construct
530711 - the work according to the contract plans and specs.  He did not
530712 - explain the basis for such belief.
530713 -
530714 - Dutra submitted several sets of design and cost information via its
530715 - serial letter #0177 dated 961014, ref DRT 1, per discussion at the
530716 - 961009 meeting. ref SDS 7 5833

530721 - There was no review of Dutra's submission today, during the meeting,
530722 - which shows on page 2:
530723 -
530724 -        Extra Cost to stabalize slope per Dwgs.    $372,848.78
530725 -        Cost for re-routing pipe line               265,722.00

530730 -        Union Pacific Railroad.  (ref DRT 1 3744)

530732 -        ... this situation of instability at the proposed sewer line
530733 -        interception with land at the UPRR site has been known for many
530734 -        months. (ref DRT 1 1444)
530735 -
530736 -  ..
530737 - COE will confirm instructions on this matter in a separate letter
530738 - setting out that slope stability where the sewer line crosses under
530739 - the UPRR track is the Contractor's responsibility which the Contractor
530740 - agreed to perform in submitting its bid and entering into the
530741 - contract.
530742 -
530743 - There is no information showing the Contractor encountered a changed
530744 - condition that warrants additional payment for shoring or re-routing
530745 - the pipeline.  Dutra's contention in its 960906 letter that use of the
530746 - railroad track by UPRR during construction constitutes a changed
530747 - condition, is incorrect.  The contract plans inform the contractor to
530748 - bid based on maintaining the railroad line in tact by jacking under
530749 - it.  Slope stability conditions were at all times available to the
530750 - contractor in bidding the work.
