Larry Hurst
5/25/99 4/7/99 property damage
This is a claim for reimbursement of expenses (construction
and Roto-Rooter) the claimant incurred as a result of a sewer
backup, which he claims resulted from an improperly installed
sewer.
According to the report of Gus Psihoyos, Assistant City
Engineer, poor construction practices caused the pipe to collapse.
He recommends payment of the claim from the Sanitary Sewer
Construction Fund, and the Legal Department concurs with his
recommendation.

Larry Hurst Claim
SUBJECT:
The noted claim of Larry Hurst relates to the City sanitary sewer construction project
done by W. C. Stewart Construction 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 damages resulting from their work.
The sanitary sewer lateral in question was installed by a City contractor. During the
uncovering of the problem area, it was found that poor construction practices caused
the pipe to collapse.
Therefore, it is my recommendation the City Engineering Division pay the repairs under
the Sanitary Sewer Construction Fund.

Mary and Duane,
It is my understanding that
this check will be paid by the
Engineering Department and that
a P.o. will come from them, so
this report should not generate
a check to pay this-craim.....
think Karen ~i$ler's tree.
I would, however,gratiously
accept the check once it is
issued so that I can send it out
with a cover letter after their
Release is returned.
