WHOLE WORK FAR BEHIND
Contract Will Be Forfeited li
Better Speed Is N'ot Made in
Completing Structure. i
Emphatic notice was served on Con-i
tractor J. J. Smith In t night by the
.Mayo Bridge subcommittee of the Coun?
cil Committee on Street's that hu would
be expected to live up to the terms of
bis contract In rcgai i to'timo of com?
pletion. The new br: is now far be?
hind contract time, though engineer!
who have examined tin work state that
up to this time the work done is en |
tiieiy satisfactory. I
Under the contra t for the new j
bridge, signed July 17, 1911, the con?
tracting flrni was g i. u .".>".."> working i
days. When one ? ir hod rolled
around, City Engineer Boiling oxam-'
incd tlio work and :? ted it. only 30
per cent, complete. Winter weather,
storms. Know, freshet) ind other con?
ditions had Intervent d to the extent of
four months, and oti the Buggcstolh of
Mr. Boiling it was I ? < matter of j
record that the contractors bad four j
months from July IT In which to finish
the work, subject to further extensions
for ba.l weather during that period.
After that period there is provided
In the contract a 'pen ilty of $10 day
for each day that the Ity Is kept out
of the use of the bridge, and It t? fur?
ther provided that ,f tl:< c.intraotor
stops work or Is not prosecuting It in
a manner satisfactory ? ? t:.e City Engl
nerr, the City Engineer is empowered
to go on tho Job and hIn men and ma- I
chlnery to complete the work or to
sublet the contract, all charges to he,
made against the original contractor
because of his fallur? to complete it
in the specified time.
Councilman- Jones brought the mat?
ter be for* the eommltte' lust night
saying that a great b irdcn was belns ,
id.iced on pedestrian! and owners of |
teams to have to hinke the detou.'j
across the old Free Bridge and that |t?
had cost the city $12,500 In tiie past I
two years to keep that t ittering struc- I
ttire open to travel. Chder the circum?
stance he thought the ity had no right
to bc lenient with ., dilatory contrac?
tor, who has worked only a small force
on n large undertaking and who. after
a year's time, has only partially con?
structed the northern half of tho bridge
between the Richmond shore and
Mayo's Island! leaving the longer south,
crn half of the undertaking untouched.
The committee unanimously adopted
his motion instructing the City Engi?
neer to notify Contractor Smith thnt
the city will expect the bridge to be
delivered 6n conract tlmei under the
full terms of the periatlly clauses in
tiie contract. Including the clause
which forfeits the contract and author?
izes the City Engineer to complete the
work at the expense of the contractor
Mr. Joiics thought it was fair to the
contractor to give hltn ample notice of
t! ? ? Ity'S Intention, so that he could
hot claim at the last moment that he
had not been notified.
Tiie committee referred to the City
Engineer for report the question of
laving the bridge paving on a concrete
foundation, at additional cost, and also
certain questions relative to laying
street car trrickg'over the bridge. It
e as stated that the Virginia Rallwa;
and Power Company is required to op?
erate cars over the bridge as soon as It
is opened, it? franchise granted for the
old Mayo Bridge being only held In
abeyance because of tiie unsafe con?
dition of the old structure, and the
question at I ic is whether tiie CiPT
shall lay ami own tiie rails across the
bridge, charging the company it yearly
ton f?f their use, or whether the bridge
shall be treated simply as a city Btreoi
in which citHi the Btreet car company
must lay the tracks and must also lay
and ropati the paving between the
tracks and :'? l two feet on either side
