The following letter from the Warren Construction Company was reads
Caldwell, Idaho, March 7, 1910.
The Honorable Mayor and City Council of Caldwell, Idaho.
Gentlemen: Referring to conversation the writer had with the Mayor regarding
the change In. the conditions of excavation and fill on tan streets included in our
contracp with the City of Caldwell for paving district no.l, said change being due to
the recent flood and resulting washouts, would say that we have taken the matter up
with our officers and they have authorized me to agree to the following, realizing
that the City has already been damaged to a large extent by the flood, this proposition
being made in the spirit of compromise and fair play.
We will accept the conditions as they exist in the district, and make the
necessary cuts and rills throughout the district so as to bring the finished surface
of the sub -grade of the street pavement to the sea ^t contour of the finished sub- grade.
We will make these fills in layers nbt to excedd nine inches, thoroughly. rolling each
layer with a roller weighing ten tons, thus providing a solid nub -base, and assuring
permanent satisfactory results. We will do this work without any charge for dame
over and above the Engineers original estimated cost of the excavation in the district.
Said estimate being 1CS000,29 cubie yards.
Under our contract with the City we are not responsible for "Acts of God"
which have caused these washouts and believe we could maintain a claim for extra
work to cover same, but we are not disposed to do do. We are making this offer to
the City of Caldwell in the same spirit in which we last year offered to the City of
Nampa to stand the expense of the Nampa fire, where the same damaged the pavement,
and if your Honorable body sees fit to accept this proposition,iwe will consider the
matter settled, and will accept in total payment for all exdavation and fill, payment
on the Engineer's original estimate as above set forth, without any increase in the u
unit contract price for excavation and fill.
This proposition does mot.include the digging out and re- tamping, with
suitable material, all soft and spongy material, payment for which is provided for
in the specifications.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN CON9TRTTCTION COMPANY.,
By W. S. Houghton, Diet. Supt.
