Vehicle Damage
This is a claim in which the claimant states that while driving downtown the evening of
August 30th, the driver's side of her vehicle was splattered with paint, which claimant
alleges was caused by freshly painted pavement markings.
According to the report of City Engineer Gus Psihoyos, this claim relates to the 2006
Pavement Marking Project being performed for the City by Selco, Inc. 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 that this claim be forwarded to
Selco, Inc. for its consideration. The Legal Department concurs with this
recommendation.
