In May of 2009, the bridge package as prepared by Viewtech was approved and issued for bid. On June 12th of 2009, the Town was invoiced 100% of the fees due for each of the bridges that were part of these plans, and we were paid in full for that work shortly thereafter. Viewtech was then subsequently paid 100% of their fees due for the bridges. In December of this past year, you expressed concerns that you thought Viewtech, instead of responding to additional review comments generated by HNTB, would walk away from the project, and therefore requested that I deduct $16,000 from pay items that had already been billed and paid for. In order to not delay payment of other fees due other subcontractors of ours (Kevin Sloan Studio, Looney Ricks Kiss, Scarborough Engineering, Lane Surveying and Greenscape), I agreed to withhold $16,000 in the December invoice (from previously paid fee items) to insure that Viewtech would respond to the review comments, and to not further delay the release of payment of the October, November and December invoices that were being held. Now that you have decided to terminate Viewtech, I believe now is the time we should be reimbursed the $16,000 in fees that were withheld, and therefore I see no need to once again revise our pay request as we have had to do with each of our invoices since last October. Viewtech made an effort to comply with comments generated by HNTB but it became obvious that the Town was never going to be comfortable with Viewtech. ________________________________ From: Clay Barnett [mailto:cbarnett@addisontx.gov] Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 9:30 AM To: Bruce Dunne Cc: Nancy Cline; Marisa Perry Subject: Invoice Bruce, Please remove the bridge related items from the recently submitted invoice and resubmit.
