Vehicle Damage
This is a claim in which the claimant alleges that his vehicle sustained blacktop and fresh
oil on its sides and fenders after ddving on Goethe Street, Windsor Avenue and Davis
Street. Claimant states that there were no signs posted indicating streets were recently
blacktopped.
According to the report of Mike Koch, Public Works Director, this claim relates to the 2003
Asphalt Paving Project that is being done by River City Paving. 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 River City Paving for
its consideration. The Legal Department concurs with this recommendation.
