With regards to the small mile at the East Pit the contractor included and was paid for this under the July 24, 1995 invoice using the same schedule mentioned above. As the contractor has stated, the third pile of topsoil on the west side of the East Pit was not shown on Map 7, but it was pointed out during the pre-bid walk through and it is our opinion that it was understood as being included in the base bid. In conjunction with this being pointed out at the prebid, Task #7, #9 & #13 all state that there was more than one pile of topsoil at the East Pit that was available to be used. In summary, with exception of the retainage, the contractor has been paid extra for moving topsoil at the north end of Chen's Hill, which should have been included in the base bid. The contractor has also been paid for moving a small topsoil pile at the East Pit. The third item involving a claim for moving the topsoil from an area on the west side of Chen's Hill is not justified. These issues were discussed in the hearing held on March 24, 1995 and it was evident that everyone was confused on what had been and what had not been paid relative to this claim.

Item #2 Amount - S180.00 The contractor is claiming 2 hours of TD-25 dozer time to reconfigure the Monarch Fan road to provide a 2% slope towards the hill. The State has agreed to this claim. Item #3 Amount - 5160.00 The contractor is claiming 2 hours for re-gradiny an area just off the road at the Magpie Division. The claim here is for 2 hours of TD-25 dozer time and the State believes that 1 hour would have been sufficient. The State did pay 1 hour for the berm, which they thought was for the road. The issue here is as to whether this work should have taken 2 hours or 1 hour. My experience in this area is
