damage to car
11/19/99
'¡'his is a claim for damages to the claimant's automobile,
which it sustained when a construction worker directed the driver
through fresh tar and yellow paint at a construction site on West
Third Street.
According to the report of Public Works Director Michael Koch,
the time and location of the incident indicates that the work was
being done by Horsfield Construction, whose contract with the City
of Dubuque requires that it be responsible for any claims that
arise out of the work being done pursuant to that contract.
It is Mr. Koch's recommendation that this claim be forwarded
to Horsfield Construction for handling, and the Legal Department
concurs with that recommendation.

Claim of Ms. Penny Gronen
TO:
SUBJECT:
This claim relates to the City Booth Street paving project which was done by Horsfield
Construction. The contract called for the standard form of contracts and bonds with

damage resulting from the work.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Engineering Division that this claim for
damages be forwarded to Horsfield Construction for further consideration/processing.
