Е. Giosecke of the Supervising Architects' office, Mr. Youngblood, representing the Public Works Administration, and Messrs. Porter and Iglohart of the School Board Office, on October 20, 1939. We respectfully recommend, therefore, final acceptance of the following Contracts on the L. L. Campbell School: Nos. 39, 46, 47 and 48; and for the Travis Heights School, Contracts Nos. 40, 49, 50 and 51, as having been satisfactorily completed according to the plans and specifications. Under the contract documents, Contract No. 39 was to have been comploted August 28, 1939, and Contract No. 40 on September 17, 1939. While final inspection by the Board was made on October 20, general construction of these two buildings was actually completed (with the oxception of soveral pieces of tile in the wainscot which had to be replaced) on October 5, and the contrector allowed use of the building from that date. It is, therefore, apparent that there is an overrun of contract working time as follows: L. L. Campbell School, 83 days; Travis Heights School, 42 days. We hereby certify that due to our familiarity with the construction work covered by the above Contracts, the delay in completion was not in any way due to neglect or failure to push the work on the part of the Contractor, but was caused by time lost through rains, through additional work ordered by the Board, complicated by delay in receiving materials, though the latter complication was not the primary cause for the overrun. Since the School Board was not damaged by the overrun in time on either building, it is hereby recommended that liquidated damages be waived and that the construction period on both general contracts should be extended to October 5, which would be set as the date of final completion of Contracts Nos. 39 and 40. If this recommendation is followed, then the mechanical contracts, namely, Nos. 46, 47, 48 and 49, 50 and 51 aro automatically extendod to October 15.

This inspection was made by a majority of the lombers of the Board of Trustees, accompanied by В. Е. Сіоsecke of the Supervising Architect's office, Mr. Youn, blood, representing the Public Works Administration, and Messrs. Porter and Iglehart of the School Board Office, on October 20, 1.939. It was found that the work of all the above montioned contracts had been satisfactorily completed according to the plans and specifications, with the exception of that part of the electric work under Contracts 33-A and B covered by the most recent Change Order and consisting of the work of rewiring the old portion of the Baker and Tulmore Schools, and with the further exception of the Clocks which are a part of the original Contract No. 33. We, therefore, respectfully recommend final acceptance of Contracts Hos. 19, 20, 143, and 44, and conditional acceptance of Contract No. 33, said condition to be removed upon receipt and installation of the Program Clocks and mon completion of the rewiring of the old portion of those two School Buildings. The construction period called for in Contracte 19 and 20 call for completion of the construction of the Baker and Fulmore Schools on August 14, 1939. The Mechanical Contracts, mmoly, Contractes Nas. 33, 43 and 44, had a contract complotion time of ton days after completion of the Gonoral Contract. We hereby cortify that due to our familiarity with the construction work covered by the above Contracts, the delay in completion was not in any way due to neglect or failure to push the work on the part of the Contractor, but was caused by time lost through rains, through additional work ordered by the Board, complicated by delay in receiving materials, though the latter complication was not the primary causo for the overrun. Under PWA Nos. 156-19-5 and 157-20-7, Contracts Nos. 19 and 20, respectively, were increased in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars cach for the remodeling of the old portion of those two buildings. On these Change Orders the Contractor requested an additional forty days working time, which was not approved by PWA due to the fact that their new rulo required that additional time be approved by the Owner at the complotion of the job. The Contractor is entitled to that time on each job and is entitled to an additional thirty-five days due to delay caused him by the Owner through additional work ordered by the Owner of the Mechanical Contractors, which work delayed that of the General Contractor on each building. Wo, thereforo, recommend an extension of seventy-five calendar days in the working time on both Contracts Nos. 19 and 20, which extensions, if made to the general contracts, automatically extend the mechanical contracts since those contracts are allowed ten days past the actual completion time of the general contract.
