How was the amount determined? <br /> asseted was the additional <br /> between the two conl facto <br /> <br /> 2. Were the engineering costs <br /> completion date? <br /> orders included? <br /> <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />This letter is to advise you that First Impressions Contracting is in strong opposition <br />of the assetment o£ liquidated damages in the amount of $826.37 asseted on the <br />above noted contract awarded to our Firm. <br /> <br />First, there are many questions that [ feel need to be addressed. <br /> <br /> [t is my understanding, that the amount <br /> engineering costs of approximately $1632.00 split <br /> between the two contractors, North Star Drilling, [nc. and our Firm. <br /> <br /> due to the project running beyond the scheduled <br /> Was the costs for the designing and processing of change <br /> <br /> Were the liquidated damages asseted against the party truly at fault in the <br /> delay? Our Firm had installed nearly the entire system except the controller <br /> which was delivered to Mr Raatika's office and of course, the change orders <br /> by the end of May. <br /> <br />Our Firm stayed in frequent communications with Mr. Raatika regarding the <br />progress or ]ack of progress. It was not until our Firm was involved in three <br />other large jobs that the site was ready for completion. Even at that time there <br />was no pump start switch installed. Finally our Firm install this in order to <br />get the job finaled. <br /> <br />Under the circumstances the delay in the completion of this job also cost us <br />time and .money in having to continue to monitor a job that should have been <br />finaled months before. If after reviewing our position, you still feel the liquidated <br />damages asseted were appropriate, [ will persue the matter with my attorney. <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Your review and consideration in this matter would be greatly appreciated. <br /> <br />Respectfully Yours,. <br /> <br />Congt'an~ce <br />Owner <br /> 2525 Nevod~ Ave. No., Suife 200 · Golden V~lley, MN 55427 · (612) 542-9510 <br /> <br /> <br />
