Mr. Bussi*ger:
The Notl.ce to Froceed otr the DouElass EJ-enentary School
was dated Decenber L2, L957, alrd the original contract
ca1ls for completion wlthin 240 days of that date. The
contract for the addltional work ca1ls for conltletlon
within six r4eeks, makiug a total of 282 calendar days
from Decembet L2, L957, for conltletion, or a completion
date of Septenber 23, 1958, The uuusuq.l weather we have
he.d dur lng the past f ew moaths, howe've r, would make a
justifiable
clain under Paragnaph 18 of the General
Cosdi.tioes f or aa extensior of tine.
In talking wlth Mr. Rostl, he bel-ieves he can complete
tt by Septenber 23,1958, irt spite of the weather and
pronises to ntake eyery effort to do so. H€, however,
intends to fite a claim for extra time ts coyer himself,
and I have asked hiln to get that in as soon as possible
to figure on.
so )ou will have something defitite
Fortunately, the tiue required ts nake the changes in
plans coinclded with bad weather so that tt delpyed the
contfactor Very 1itt1e if at all.
