Morrison-Maierle, Inc. recommended rejection of this claim in its entirety since their analysis of the costs involved indicated that the Contractor had actually [rofi ted by the alignment change and that the Contractor's contention of extra costs incurred for delayed access to the right- of-way is without merit.

Morrison-Maierle, Inc. therefore recommended that the claim of Statewide Flumbing & Heating Co. in the amount of :;1.15,220.25 be rejected and in lieu thereof the sum of $4,000.00 be offered to the Contractor as a fair and just recomr,ense for the extra costs incurred by the contractor due to delayed access to right-of-way.
