The fallowing letter from the King Construction Company requesting an extension of time for the completion of the 9th Avenue Bridge was read for the consideration of the Council: July 10, 1968 City of Caldwell Mayor City Engineer city Council Gentlemen: Due to the accident and subsequent extended negotiations to settle with DeMeyer which resulted in a work stoppage, we must earnestly request a time extention for complet- ion of the 9th Avenue Bridge. In checking with Mho. Poe who is removing the building for DeMeyer, it appears us could resume work on Monday 15th of July. Based an this I believe we would need an extention of 35 days. This would make the now completion date 23rd. of August, 1968. To further clarify the progress of the bridge it appears to me that we would have the abutment walls complete in the latter part of July. At this lime the water could be put back in the old stream bad and the by -pass would be removed. Thanking you. Sincerely, KING CONSTRUCTION CO. James R. King, owner In discussing the temporary easements held by the City and the work the City had to do when the 'bridge was completed and before it could be opened for travel, the City Engineer informed the Council that the City would backfill with gravel behind the abutments and oil, also, 21 days would be required after the deck of the bridge had been poured or, when the concrete had reached the designed strength, before they ,!could lot traffic over it. After some further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Banks, seconded by Councilman Harrison, that the King Construction Company be granted an extension of the number of actual days lost thru the 15th day of July.
