Re: Notice of Claim - Storage Coste for
FRP Froth Control Hoods 5
Gentlemen,
Pursuant to Article No. 51 (5) (a) of the Agreement, Frontier-KemperZDurrZPerini, J.V. (“FKDP”) hereby
submits a Notice of Claim to protest the Final Determination date June 14,2011 (‘Tinal Determination”) and received
on June 16,2011, signed by Portfolio Manager Matthew Osit, P.E. of the New York City Department of
Environmental Protection (“DEP”), denying FKDP’s claim for the additional cost that FKDP incurred to store 32
Fiber Reinforced Plastic Froth Control Hoods (“hoods”) at an offsite location pursuant to the direction of both die
City and its resident engineer, Hazen & Sawyer (“H&S”). This storage cost is associated with WP-237 Bowery Bay
WPCP hiterim Plant Upgrading, Phase 1, Contract No. BB-57G, Structures & Equipment (“BB-57G”).
Attached are copies of: (a) Attachments in support of this Notice of Claim; (b) the Final Determination; and,
(c) FKDP’s Request for Final Determination dated April 6,2009 (BB-57G-768).
Under change order BB-57G-58R, the DEP directed FKDP to furnish and install forty (40) hoods. By March
of2005 FKDP’s subcontractor had fabricated and delivered eight (8) hoods to the jobsite. On March 15,2005 FKDP
received notification from the DEP releasing the remaining thirty-two (32) hoods for fabrication. On or about this
time the DEP also notified FKDP that only two (2) of the thirty-two (32) hoods would require pre-assembly; the rest
would remain in comptment form. They would not be installed under the BB-57G contract By April 29,2005
FKDP’s subcontractor was prepared to deliver all thirty-two (32) hoods to the project site. Unfortunately, DEP could
not provide a storage area at the project site because the DEP failed to timely execute a change order to construe the
storage area. Therefore, H&S directed FKDP to have its subcontractor find a remote site to store the hoods until room
onsite was made available. These hoods were stored offsite for a period of two (2) years, from June 2005 to June
2007, at a subcontractor cost to FKDP of $71,032.50 plus 5% for FKDP’s overhead and profit. Total claim equals
$74,584.13.
