Mr Farrow, The COG spec dictates that the start time is directed by the town. Therefore, the contract time will commence at the conclusion of the preconstruction meeting tomorrow. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. Thanks, Clay Barnett, P.E. Town Engineer Town of Addison 16801 Westgrove Drive Addison, TX 75001-2818 Office: (972) 450-2857 ________________________________ From: Robert Farrow To: Clay Barnett Cc: Mike Henjum ; Matt McCombs Sent: Mon Apr 11 14:31:24 2011 Subject: RE: Clay: Thanks for the rapid response. As I review the COG spec Section 103.6 it indicates that the notice to proceed should state both the contract start date and anticipated date of completion. Section 103.6 also discussed that there are 10 days allowed for the contractor to begin work. This is again stated in section 108.1 Prosecution and Progress. Normally this would not be of major concern however the Special Provision 22 in the project specifications is very clear on the calculation of contract time as it relates to the early completion bonus or calculations of damages. Along with providing the City a first class project our firm also has the goal of receiving the completion bonus and the proper calculation of contract time is vital to that end. Please review these provisions and amend or supplement the notice to proceed with the dates required so we are all clear on the contracts dates of record.

For contract clarification are we using 10 days from notice to proceed as the contract starting time. If so I see April 18, 2011 as the date contract time starts. Please confirm your understanding.
