Swires Dr. South Highbush Ln. & Bumblebee Street Dear Mr. Kornelis: I am in receipt of your letter dated June 10, 1985 regarding the above refer- enced Project which I find to be an accurate response to our letter of April 17, 1985. Please understand that your reply would have been greatly appreciated if it had been received prior to the Bid Date of this Project, April 25, 1985. Please refer to the Standard Specifications, Section ]0.02, Article 2.2 "Method For Clarification." I believe the City of Kenai failed us in not addressing this Problem which I stated at the Pre-Bid Conference, and by direct correspon- dence dated April 17, 1985. In the past, Doyle Construction has had a good "Working Relationship" with the City of Kenai. I now find this situation leading to a "Collision Path" that would jeopardize our relationship on this Project, and could possibly do so on future projects. Your letter dated June 10, 1985 would definitely lead us to a Claim or Legal Action, which is not desirable to Doyle Construction. I do not wish, knowingly, to enter into any Contract that would ultimately result in a Claim leading to Court Action. As per the Telephone Conversation of June 13, 1985 at 9:30 a.m. between you, as a representative of the City of Kenai, and Marko 2urak, as a representative of Doyle Construction, I request that the City respond by returning our Bond as a prudent action to all concerned. Please find enclosures for additional Information concerning the above. Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, -. --~ /~,/ ..Patrick J. Doy e President Enc: 3 E -.

Due to & Bumblebee St. my experience with Construction in this Area, I am concerned about Bidding the above referenced Pro3ect.
