Vehicle Damage
This is a claim in which claimant alleges that that as he was ddving onto Bluff Street from
West 17th Street, wet paint from the street markings splattered onto his vehicle.
According to the report of Mike Koch, Public Works Director, this claim relates to the 2003
Pavement Marking Program that is being done by Selco, Inc. The contract called for the
standard form of contracts and bonds with the City, which require the contractor to hold the
City harmless from any claims of damage resulting from the work.
It is therefore the recommendation of Mike Koch to refer this claim to Selco, Inc. The
Legal Department concurs with this recommendation.
