To the Town Board of Queensbury r„
Gentlemen:
i
Agre%ble with your request, I am handing you herewith the
statement from the Water Departmeat of the City of Glens Falls
for mater'ials' Turn ished by them on your- at count for the
installation of the 6" cast iron water main on Ft. Amherst Rd.
The final measurements indicate that the ,contractor installed`
905 lin, ft. of main and laterals. At the computed contract
price of $2,.00 per linear foot the total amount of the '+contract
would be 0181 0,00
There is the question as to whether or not the board desires to
make allowance for overbreakage in the excavating ditch.
Measuremen to taken show that over a distance of 355 feet an
overbreakage, through no fault of the contractor, equal to 170.60
took plat e due entirely to made ground.. This overbreakage
amounted to 414.8 cu, yds.which, at the prices named by the
contractor in braaking' down his 82.00 per lin. ft: , bid,,
(0,90¢, for excavation and 0.58/ for.. back filling and surface
restoration) would amount to 8896.38..
The ,entire instal lation has .been completed in accordanpf with
the 5pecificati�ons and with the exception of the acceptance
by your board of the street surfac. e.'
.
Respectfully submitted'..
