Vehicle Damage
This is a claim in which the claimant alleges that as he was driving north on John F.
Kennedy Road near Burger King, he drove over a large bump, causing two flat tires,
damaged rims and damage to the rear axle of his 1990 Acura Integra.
According to the report of City Engineer Gus Psi hoyos, this claim pertains to the
Stoneman Road/John F. Kennedy Road Storm Sewer Project which is being performed
by Tschiggfrie Excavating Co. The improvement contract between Tschiggfrie
Excavating and the City of Dubuque included bonds and insurance, as well as language
stating that the contractor shall hold the City harmless against all claims arising out of
the construction project.
It is therefore the recommendation of Gus Psihoyos to refer this claim to Tschiggfrie
Excavating Co. for its consideration. The Legal Department concurs with this
recommendation.
