To tb.e Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: At a recent meeting of your Honorable Body several days for extra grading claimed to have been done upon various street im- provemenes by James Lee, contractor, were referred to the undersigned for a report upon the question whether or not, under the contract and speci- fications, said contractor was entitled to recover from the city. We beg to state that we have made a careful and complete investigation of the specifications and find that there ex- ists no liabality upon which the con- tractor can base a recovery. The specifications specifically provide that where a street is to be re -paved the contractor must submit his bid for the completed work, which includes the grading and the laying of the pave- ment as a completed job. The con- tractor is also instructed that before he submits his bid for the work he must inform himself what work must oe done under his contract and base his bid for the work upon such infor- mation. By his contract the con- tractor agrees to complete the work and not only a portion thereof. If it happens that extra grading must be done to niakE the pavement conform to the established grade, the con- tractor must do this at his own risk, which risk he assumes when he bids upon the work. This being the situa- tion we, arrive at the conclusion that whatever extra grading was done by the contractor upon the several im- provements, was done at the contract- or's own risk, and for which the city has no legal obligations to pay, Respectfully submitted, E C. BLAKE, City Engineer. M. H. CZIZEK, City Atorney. On motion of Ald. Clancy the report of the city atorney and city engineer was approved and the bills received and filed: Ald.
