The ~ma%ter Of charges rendered by, the.Village against Park' ConStruction
Company for l~l~or and materials furnished~ in connection with repairs
t'o road surfaces where excavations had been made for installing
drainage was '~iscussed and with disputed items eliminated from
the original charges totalling $92.~§; it wae.mmtually agreed that
a' neW statement of charges would be rendered in the.total amount of
~§8.87. ° In discussing the responsibility fer..malntaining the road
~urfaces there seemed no doubt that this belemged to the Park Construction
Co., 'and when similar conditions develop in the future thay are to be
notified and will immediately take care of the situation.
The matter of the charge rendered~by Park. Gens. Co., against 'the
Village for loss of equipment time when oil tanks were disc&voted
interefering with the laying of drainage pipes along the side of the
Chever~let garage, sald bill in the amount of $~68.6~, was discussed
at length. No agreement was reached as to whether this was the
responsibility of the Park Cons. Go., under their contract or was a
proper charge against thd Village~as an "extra~. The question was
referre~ again to the Village Attorney for further study and Mr.
Kelly ~stated that he would post Mr. Wolner concerning the arguments
presented by Park Cons. Co., representativesi .and the statements
made by Mr. Gates of Tolz, King &,Day, with the thought that
Mr. Wol'ner might be able to preseRt further reasons why the
Village should* not be expecSed to assume this charge.
The question of the charge of $272.54 allowed by the Engineers as
Extra 'Order #1, dated Dec. ~Oth., 1951, because of repairs to
existing drainage lines encountered at three points on Dell Street
was di~sous~ed,. It was the opinion of Mr. Gates and Mr. Kelly
t~hat i% was the responsibility of~the Village .ts accept this
~harge so far as th& Contractor was concerned~and look to the
· chool Dlstrl~t for reimbursement, Mr..Kelly ~suggested that
perhaps .Ur. Wolner would be willing to .attend a.meeting of the
School Board and explain as to their responsibility ,for the cause
of this .extra charge. The matter of approvin~he bill for
payment was ddferred to the Regular Meeting .March 4th.
