Very truly yours, Joe Moore President Sohlaver read the following letter from Peterson & Wengerhoff, Architects: Village Hall Addition ~February 20, 1962 Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect~ Illinois Gentlemen: Re: Municipal Buildin~ Addition & Alterations An inspection of the above captioned buildin~was conducted on Monday, February 19, 1962. The purpose of this inspection was to deter- mine the amount of work still remaining to be completed or corrected in accordance with our check lists of December 29, 1961 and January 24, 1962. This latest inspection showed that the following items still remain uric ompleted: February 20, 1962 443 1. Install access panel in Police' Garage ceiling. Village Hall 2. Repair gas leak in Boiler Room. Addition 3~ Correct installation of radiation covers in Village Manager' s office. 4. Check temperature ~control of unit heater at Fire Department entrance. 5. Install grille at Hose Tower heating unit. 6. Install protective hood over intake louver to Police Department air handling unit. With the exception of these few items, the work has been satis- factorily completed in accordance with the plans and specifications. The normal one-year guarantee and warranty covering equipment and installation will normally take care of the relatively minor adjustments in temperature control which are usual during the initial .months of operation of a system of this nature. Therefore, in view of the minor nature of the items still to be completed, it is our recommendation to the Village that Custer Construction Company be paid the monies due~ them under their contract, subject to payment of sub-contractors and receipt' of waivers of lien. Very truly yours, A. L. Wengerhoff Attorney Hofert recommended that payment be made to certain subcontractors having no involvement whatever with Suit by Lombardo, to be paid direct from the Village Treasurer, and any subcontractors involved in the suit to have payment withheld until outcome is decided. Mr. Hofert asked for letter from Custer Construction 0o. agreeing to this. The following includes the contractor and sub-contractors involved in the suit: $2,596.01 - Custer Construction Co. 107.80 - Ted Sirek Excavating 818.00 Lundsberg Co. 1,850.00 - Ceisal & McGuire $5,371.81 Mr. George Hitchcock, President of Custer Construction, demurred, stating that theabove subcontractors have nothing to do with the suit, and that the insurance com~n~ is obligated to take care of eve~ybhing. Mr. Hofert replied, "The Home Insurance Company has not indicated anything which wo~ld lead me to believe that they would assume responsibility at this time. Are you will to have the subcontractors other than the ones named above paid direct?" Mr. Hofert then explained that direct payment would forestall liens against the Village for this work. Mr. Hitchcock felt that too much importance was paid to the impending Lombardo suit, that the actual amount cf damage was not over $200 and that the insurance company would take care of everything. Mr. Appleby raised the point of payment to National Heat & Power, stating that the air conditiGning system had not been checked out at all. Mr. Kahn of that company replied that it was not feasible to turn it on until the weather warms up, that the system is guaranteed for a year, and that adjust- ments will be made after it is turned on, as has been done with the heating system. Trustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee Bickley, moved that the Village of Mount ProsPect pay subcontractors listed herein direct as stated in Attorney Hofert's recommendation, and that amount of $5,371.81 be withheld, payment of this to be discussed at a future date.
