Hi Curtis,
I do understand additional trucks would have been added to remove the additional quantities of the grind. However, that Friday before the pavement work was to begin on Grange and Heintz we reviewed the existing condition of the pavement on both streets with Dick Eagle. It was determined that the majority of both roads needed pavement repair and it would be more cost and time effective to grind it out. I believe the additional pavement repair work would have added significant days to the project and tied your work crews from moving on to other jobs. I was only asking for consideration on this fact.
Thank you,
Jennifer Cline, P.E.

Hi Jennifer,
The price I sent you was for cost only, I screw up. When you run the numbers it is $3.45 a sy and it was for 0”-2” curb grind that makes it an average of 1” over the 6’ panel.
The City wanted to grind the center of the streets 3” deep an increase of 2”. It cost more to grind 3” also you have an increase in trucking for the extra material removed.
The decision to increase the grind quantity actually added days to the schedule due to the increase in quantity of asphalt material being removed and replaced .
Eagle-Elsner did bid item A-8 Grind Existing Asphalt 6’ wide Panel @ 2” so I can’t delete it, and bid Item B-11 is used to pay for the subgrade fabric that is used on Stowers Road.

Hi Curtis,
The project was not a complete 3” grind, there was a 2” – 6’ wide grind on the shoulders with and 3” grind on the remaining center of roadway.
Heintz St. – within the project limits shown on Sheets C10-C12,
· 2”- 6’ wide at edge of roadway
· 3” – Varies 24-25’ center of roadway
Grange Ave. – within the project limits shown on Sheets C8-C10,
· 2”- 6’ wide at edge of roadway
· 3” – Varies 30-31’wide center of roadway
I also verified the original S.Y. cost for Bid Item A-8. When you run the numbers it comes to $3.45/s.y. Can you please provide a justification as to why there is an increase of $0.85/s.y. between the two. Typically with an increase in quantities the unit price decreases.
I also ask that you take in account the City’s decision to change to grind saved several workings days. As calculated, the project must have reach substantial completion on 04/30. The request I received from you was on May 1, 2015. Even if additional days were to be granted for the previously planned added pavement repair I don’t see how the work could have been completed on time.
Please also show all bid items such as; A-8 and B-11 deleted and show a credit.

Importance: High
Hi Hassan,
Dan and I went out to Heintz today looking at the planned dig-outs. The actual pavement failure well exceeds the planned dig-outs and extends from N Molalla to Grange. Our proposal is to do the following:
1. Prep trenches
2. Continue to grind 2” at curb line for 6 ft
3. Grind center roadway 3” for 28 ft
4. Place fabric for separation with in the 28 ft
5. Pave back 3” of PG 64-22, Level 3
6. Overlay 2” as planned
I believe this will save time and cost, and produced a better product for the City.
