a breakdown of additional items
reviewed for consideration of
payment. Our response is outlined below in the same order as your letter.
A. Item 1 - 4.5 Hours at $90.00/hr Dozer Rental - $405.00
1. Water bars at the south end of the East Pit were located on a steep section of road
that originated on the west side of the pit, near the south topsoil stockpile. It crossed
the drainage above the original highwall and connected the east side of the pit with
the west. Construction of this road was not necessary, other than for convenience of
the contractor, and it was not part of the project work description To avoid serious
erosion of the slope where the road was located, the contractor was asked to install
several water bazs prior to revegetation of the site. This restoration is provided for
under Task #1, Paragraph #2 of the Invitation and Bid, and no payment wiil be made
for this item.
2. Construction activity neaz Magpie Creek and the staging area resulted in coal .
overburden spoil covering a small portion of undisturbed ground, south of the road,
on Energy Fuels permitted road right-of-way. The contractor was asked to grade and
topsoil this azea. This work was covered under Task #1 of the Invitation and Bid and
no payment will be made for this item.
3. Prior to construction of the north end road the contractor was told by Messrs.
H. Ranny, J. Nelson and J. McArdle, at various times, that the road was to be sloped
into the hill at a 2% grade. The slope was not done correctly when the road was
initially cut, resulting in a second grading effort by the contractor. The Division of
Minerals and Geology will not make additional payment to remedy work items
initially done incorrectly. Payment for this item, an important part of Task #8, has
already been made.
