There were numerous underground utilities near the proposed boring locations that were unable to be <br />accurately located/marked by the City. As such, we needed to contract a private locator to assist with advancing the <br />borings to limit the risk of drilling into an underground utility for both our safety and for the convenience and safety of <br />the residents and businesses affected by those utilities. The use of private locates was not anticipated and therefore <br />not included in our original fee proposal. <br />HWC is requesting reimbursement for the private locator fees in the amount of $1,300.00. <br />If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joshua P. Grabijas, PE <br />Project Manager
