;SOLUTION NO.B- 1037,'iYHEREAS, McHugh & Coluccio have addressed a communication to the Mayor
and City Commissioners of the City of Yakima, `lashington, which said. communication is as
follows: to -wit:
"The undersigned, 11cHugh & Coluccio, Ino . , pursuant to paragraph six of the General Stipula-
tions included in the Specifications and proposal for municipal water system -does hereby
appeal to your Honorable body. from certain decisions and. conclusions of the -City Engineer
relative to the work done under the contract covering Schedule B of the system which conclu-
sions and decisions are. as follows:
In the February,1927, estimate given to the contractors by the city engineer,-he failed. to
give them an estimate for the material excavated., at station 776 plus 89 falling under the term
of rock excavation as defined by Subdivision 26 of the specifications.being pages 7 and 8
thereof. The engineer alloyed 14 yards of r -oak 'excavation for boulders encountered`1btt. has
declined to allow an additional 14 yards of rock excavation tivhich was done at -that station by
contractors and. so computed by the contractor and. the engineer in charge of the work for the
city.
In his June estimate the engineer classified. t_,b.e rock excavation he claimed. t-he contractors
had done to the date thereof which included. iri .the total all other estimates made t o date arid.
gave a total classified of 1198 cubic yards of .rock excavation which- estimate was .short
773.61 cubic yard.s. Subsequently an error ,vas .r'ecogni ae.d. im the su i of .$181.17 cubic yards
which has corrected in latter estimates, leaving,a shortage up to the time of said estimate
in the sum of $592.54. This amount includes the foregoing paragraph.
in the July estimate, the engineer classified 384.2 cubic yards as rock excavation between
stations 727 plus 11 to 731 plus 90. The propex arioun' of rock excavation between these two
stations is 1090.92 cubic yards, or a shortage.cxf 706.72 cubic yards.
We-insist that the yardage of excavation as above set forth falls within the term of rock
.excavation as defined in subdivision 26. The excavation was made in a type of formation
that could not be readily loosened with pick and. ',shove 1 and would. require drilling and blastinE
for its economical removal and, would. not include it ose.gravel.
