Box 341939 Coral Gables Florida 33134 305/665 9241 <br />March 17, 1981 - <br />Mr. Neil Nelson <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />2145 14th Avenue <br />Vero Beach, Florida%' 32960 <br />Re: Patch, Repair and'Replacement.of <br />Existing Fire Walls <br />Dear Mr. Nelson: <br />The Contractor takes the position that he is not obligated to patch, <br />repair or replace existing fire walls and has submitted a change <br />proposal to do the work. It appears that there is a di Aute and/or <br />other matter in question between the Contractor and Own r relating <br />to the execution of. the work and/or the interpretation the con- <br />tract documents. <br />Under Article 2.2.9 of the AIA general conditions for the Contract <br />for Construction, we have reviewed the plans and specifications as <br />they relate to the fire walls for'the Indian River,County Adminis— <br />tration Building Renovation Project. We find them to be clear and <br />sufficient. <br />Ceilings were removed prior to bid, so as to allow the Contractor <br />to examine the existing fire walls in a pre-bid review meeting at <br />the site. No questions were asked. The Contractor should have <br />known and been aware that this work was included in the contract. <br />The work should be performed according to local codes to provide a <br />one hour fire wall. This decision is final, but subject to appeal <br />under Article 2.2.12. Any demand for arbitration of,a claim, dis- <br />pute or other matter covered by such decision must be made within <br />thirty days of receiving this written decision. Failure to demand <br />arbitration will result in the Architect's decision becoming final <br />and binding upon the Owner and the Contractor. <br />Very truly yours, <br />CONNELL METCALF & EDDY <br />Fred H.
