It was our intent that PE #14 provide full and final payment to SCI infrastructure and all subcontractors for work previously completed on the project. Since notice protesting the Engineers payment determination has not been forthcoming the City believes that all payment obligations under the contract have been met.

Current missing paperwork includes: Affidavits of Wages Paid for Apply -a -Line, INCA Engineers, Retaining Walls NW, Seawest Construction, Wilson Concrete and notarized signature of the Release of Claims and Contractors Acceptance Letter which substitutes for the Final Contract Voucher Certificate called for in section 1 -09.9 of the DOT Standard Specifications. With this letter we hereby infoun you of the City's intent to proceed with the establishment of a completion date and unilateral final acceptance of the project as provided under 1 -09.9 of the Standard Specifications upon 30 calendar days following your receipt of this letter. Should you choose to submit the required paperwork within this 30 day period project completion may be established at an earlier date. Congratulations to you and SCI Infrastructure on your successful completion of this challenging project. We look forward to working with you again on a future project for the City.

As prescribed in Specification Section 1.09.9 of the standard specifications the City has given you 30 days to comply with the request for this paperwork. Since you have not submitted the requested paperwork, the City has established March 7 as the Completion Date and Final Acceptance for the Cascade View Project. No further payment will be made on the contract and the total payment provided with Pay Estimate #14 is considered to be a full and final payment to SCI infrastructure and all subcontractors for work previously completed on the project. The procedure for closeout from this point includes approval by City Council and notice to the Department of Revenue and other agencies for approval of release of performance and retainage bond for the project. These agencies will be unable to approve release without the Affidavit of Wages Paid completed for Wilson Concrete. Your bonds will be released within the prescribed 60 day waiting period provided all agencies approve release. Congratulations to you and SCI Infrastructure on your successful completion of this challenging project. We look forward to working with you again on a future project for the City.
