SURVEY OFFICE July 9, 1979
TO: San Juan County Commission
Monticello, Utah
FROM: Doug Pehrson
San Juan County Survey Office
SUBJECT: Grade work at the San Juan County Airport
Gentlemen;
I am writing to explain the extra work required to get the gravel to the proper elevation for the hangers at the Monticello Airport. San Juan County Road Dept. prepared the hanger site and did get the proper elevation for the gravel, but in several areas did not get the proper compaction. Therefore, when the contractor compacted the building site, it required additional gravel and additional work. I believe the contractor should be re-imbursed for this additional work that was required to get the proper compaction.
Sincerely,
/s/ Doug Pehrson
San Juan County Survey Dept.
