Vehicle Damage
This is a claim in which the claimant alleges that his vehicle had to be serviced for an
alignment, leaking oil and a loose wire after he drove over a pothole near a construction
site on Hill Street.
According to the report of Gus Psihoyos, Acting Public Works Director, this claim relates
to the 2004 Asphalt Paving Project that is being done by River City Paving Company.
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 Gus Psihoyos to forward this claim to River City
Paving Company for its consideration. The Legal Department concurs with this
recommendation.
