CITY COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 19, 1989
The City Council approved the proposed claims procedure
for City of Lodi projects and directed that it be used in
all specifications for City of Lodi projects.
The Department of Transportation which administers the EAU
funds has required local agencies to have their own
contractors' claim procedure. The reason that Caltrans
requires this i s that if local agencies do not have a
contractors' claim procedure, they would be required to
follow the standard specifications of the Department of
Transportation which allow all claims to go to arbitration.
The City's existing claims statement in the specifications
is very brief and does not spell out the procedure for
settlement of claims. This new policy does. The proposed
claim procedure has been submitted to Caltrans and has been
approved.
