RE: Davis Lane Contract Time Extension- Change Proposal Request
Davis Lane Lift Station & Norton East Ranch Outfall Sewer Project
COP Project No. 20106
Dear Mrs. Revis,
The below information is a request for additional contract time and costs due to the COVID-19
schedule delays on the Davis Lane Lift Station and East Ranch Outfall Sewer Project Schedule.
During the bidding process it was stated at the pre bid meeting on March 25, 2020 that any
delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic would be addressed at the time of the delay.
Guidance from the City of Bozeman was given to proceed with bidding as if the project could
progress without any interruption or delay in material procurement. Before construction began
COP Construction LLC (COP) set up a meeting on June 12, 2020 to discuss schedule impacts
relating to material delays to determine how the City of Bozeman would like to proceed. COP
received very little guidance and sent follow up emails sent on June 15, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
The response in an email from Bob Murray on July 14, 2020 then stated that the City of
Bozeman wanted the contract to proceed and shut down after the pipe work was completed to
be taken. A letter following up this email was then issued on December 18, 2020 stating, that
the city is in a general disagreement with a contract extension due to COP’s continued work on
critical path items in lieu of the use of an available winter shut down. On January 29, 2021 COP
took a winter shutdown to try and preserve as much contract time as possible due to the delay of
the micro tunnel which caused delays in other work which was originally scheduled to progress
without a winter shutdown. However, the contract does not state a winter shutdown must be
taken due to delays which are caused by events outside of the contractors control.
Originally the micro tunnel was scheduled to begin on August 31, 2020 and be completed by
November 6, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the casing material delivery dates were
pushed from 8 weeks to 16 weeks per the letter from Trinity Products and the email from
Primoris Services Corporation.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9103C10D-C448-4CDC-A3FA-6F8A5C3C6345
The change in the casing delivery schedule put the starting time of the micro tunnel into a time of
year that it could not be completed due to freezing conditions. If it were not for the delay of the
casing pipe the micro tunnel could have been started and completed within the original contract
times allowing float on this activity in case of delays relating to installation. In Article 4.05 C. it
states that if the Contractor’s performance or progress is delayed, disrupted, or interfered with by
the unanticipated causes not the fault of and beyond the control of Owner, Contractor and those
for which they are responsible, then Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in
contract times. Also, under Article 4.05 C. 1. it lists epidemics as being a reason for contract
time extensions due to uncontrollable delays. In delaying the micro tunnel and not being able to
complete it concurrently it has made it so that COP is incurring additional costs due to the delay
in work. The costs are $3,023.26/ day and they are outlined in the attached pricing sheet. If the
work were able to run concurrently as planned management and equipment time would have not
been increased due to multiple activities being able to be completed at once.
Due to the additional time required to complete the project COP is requesting that all days above
the 54 remaining contract days which are required for the micro tunnel, startup, and final tie-in
work be reimbursed to COP. Attached is a schedule outlining anticipated delays. If the Covid-19
pandemic had not occurred, the project would have been able to progress as bid per the
direction of the City of Bozeman during the bidding process.
Sincerely,
Eric Smith
Project Manager

Although it is not an overwhelming case that’s been made, I could see a recommendation to the commission that this
meets the criteria in section 4.05.C.1, but there is still a big disconnect in my opinion that needs justification. After all,
they say it is no cost, but by approving this change, we will be committing to some level of inspection for an additional 4
months. In reviewing the schedules they provided, the original had a duration of 176 days for the wet well and lift
station (from excavate to workbench – Painter), but the revised one has gone up to 259 days. A difference of 83 days, or
the majority of the request. Since all of the lift station of that work is after the 1st of the year, the delays pointed to by
the electrician don’t explain the change.
They have made an all or nothing request – either give them an extension and let them work through the winter
basically at their own pace, or wait to start until next year. I still feel that there is a middle ground that is very workable
and what I thought they were requesting right from the beginning. Finish all of the pipe work as shown on their
schedule, get the wet well done through their item 1190 and then shut down for the rest of the winter. The rest of the
lift station work can then be done concurrently with the mirotunnel in the spring. We may need to give a short
extension, but it would be significantly less than the 50% increase they are asking for now.

WARNING: PLEASE USE CAUTION. THIS EMAIL ORIGINATED FROM OUTSIDE THE COP CONSTRUCTION ORGANIZATION.
Eric,
Thank you for the information. I need a little more on the specifics per the contract and suggest a formal letter to the
City with all of the documentation. We need two versions of the schedule, one that shows your original plan and
completing the critical path within the time allotted and then the critical path being impacted and updated per your
email and documentation. I’ve attached the relevant section of the specs for your reference as you gather the
materials.
In summary, a formal request stating:
· What was assumed during the bid, and what formal correspondence or communications can you provide that
substantiates their original assumption?
· What has changed that impacts the original baseline schedule that showed completion of the contract within
the times in the Agreement? What do those changes do to the Critical Path, and is a Contract Change
supported.
· Were the changes claimed out of the control of the Contractor? This will need to be substantiated through
something formal from their suppliers and/or subcontractor I am guessing for the City to be able to accept.
· The Contractor should in their written narrative clearly state whether any costs are associated with the Change,
or whether the change in Contract Time can be addressed without a Change in Contract Price. There need to be
bookends on their formal request. All needs to be very formal, and written in a letter request from the
Contractor, as the City will need that for acceptance or denial.
Thank you,

Cora,
I have updated COP’s project schedule for the Davis Lift Station Project. With the concerns that I have expressed
relating to delays due to Covid-19 the completion time for the project is going to be hard to do within the original
contract time. During the bidding of the project it was anticipated that the micro tunnel work could run concurrently
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9103C10D-C448-4CDC-A3FA-6F8A5C3C6345
2
with the project. With the project bidding on 4/15/20 the effects of the Covid-19 shutdowns were unknown on how it
would affect all material deliveries. The micro tunnel sub-contractor which was used in both bids submitted for the
project stated to COP during bid time that casing pipe had a lead time of 8 weeks. As of 7/7/20 the pipe has now pushed
another 8 weeks to make a total lead time of 16 weeks following approved submittals. The lead time of the pipe has
pushed the micro tunnel into a time of the year which they cannot complete the project due to below freezing
temperatures. Also, please see the below email from Primoris stating problems due to restricted international travel
and crews not being able to travel to complete the project until further notice. With delaying the start of the project
this year to allow for time to be made up it will impact the original project schedule as all surface restoration will not be
able to be completed and additional costs would be incurred if temporary surfacing was required. COP is not proposing
adding any additional costs to the project due to the delays however adding contract time. COP and all the
subcontractors involved have devoted a large portion of their schedules to this project this year as the contract sets
specific start dates to imply construction is to begin 30 days following award. We are diligently trying to get updates on
delivery times of materials and submittals. However with companies throughout the United States having different
restrictions the submittal process has been slowed. One remaining major concern is all electrical and control
equipment. Vertex Electric is meeting with their suppliers today to review delivery times of submittal and materials. I
will forward all correspondence relating to changes in lead times from subs as I receive it. Please let me know if you
have any further questions as COP would like to try and keep the schedule of starting 7/20/20.
Eric,
When we received our quote from the Steel Casing supplier on April 07,2020. The lead time for
the material was 8 weeks. By the time we received the contracts and issued a Letter of Intent to
our supplier it was June 22, 2020. Because of impacts at both the Steel Pipe Fabrication Shop
and Pipe Coating Shops because of COVID 19 the lead time has jumped to 16 weeks.
We are also having issues with International Travel Restrictions. Our equipment for this project
is manufactured in Germany. All the tunneling equipment to be used on this project is currently
in use across various locations in the Continental United States. The cutter head for this project
will be fabricated in German and shipped to our Equipment Yard in Corona, Ca. The typical
process is for our mechanics and operators to tear down and replace components of the MTBM
that need repair or replacements. The cutter head is then mounted on the MTBM and the entire
system is tested and run for several days. The issue we are facing is we typically have a
technician from the factory in German come with a new cutter head to make sure the cutter
wheel and equipment are all in balance and runs correctly. With the international travel
restrictions we no longer have that ability. This problem is not unique to this project. Not only
can’t we have the factory folks come over from Germany our USA based MTS Consultant is
currently stuck in Germany. We have been working with the Department of Commerce and the
German Consulate in Los Angeles to get some of the folks back to the States. I currently have a
lead engineer and three tunnel operators banned from travel.
· Andreas Thiele MTS Perforator USA Consultant ( MTS Perforator MTBM Manufacturer)
is a Germany National was in Germany for sons birthday and is now currently prohibited
from travel to the US
· Steffen Dammsch Microtunnel Machine Operator is a Germany National in Germany

· Alexey Belogurov Microtunnel Machine Operator is a Germany National in Germany
and is now currently prohibited from travel to the US
· Polakov Gennadi Microtunnel Machine Operator is a Germany National in Germany and

We have US based operators and mechanics all working to fill the gaps on all of our various
ongoing projects and upcoming projects. However, the Covid 19 Travel Restrictions from Europe

we navigate our way through the process with the Department of Commerce and the German

Per our conversation COP is requesting an extension of contract time due to material delivery delays and how it affects
our subcontractors schedules on the project. Many delays such as the micro tunnel casing delivery being 12 weeks out
after an approved submittal would push the start so late in the year that the sub is not able to tunnel due to winter
conditions. The micro tunnel anticipated start would then be pushed until early April with approximately 10 weeks
scheduled for the micro tunnel to be completed. Then the remainder of utility work in the tunnel for COP would push
the schedule past the original contract time. Also, the controls and the generator are showing a 6 month lead time after
approved submittals. With the large delivery delays it has made it so that we can not run many activities concurrently in
our schedule therefore the project schedule would run over the original contract time. COP would like to start the
project 7/20/20 to allow for the majority of the utility work to be installed before the end of the 2020 construction
season. With using this approach it will allow for restoration to be completed this year on the majority of the project
along with moving the project completion date up from the end of next year or early 2022 to the middle of summer
2021. With COP beginning this year a winter shutdown would not be very significant once winter sets in the focus would
be inside the lift station building and getting all finish work completed and electrical work done to allow for the crafts to
minimize delays due to unforeseen conditions later in the project. The majority of the delays relate to the Covid-19 and
that they have pushed many suppliers delivery dates out much longer than anticipated during bidding. COP is not asking
for any additional payment due to the extension. However would like to come to an agreement on how we can
complete the project at the earliest date possible without having the project suffer liquidated damages. Please let me
know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Eric Smith

Cora,
We could do a meeting late next week. However before we issue a notice to proceed I want to make sure we are able to
have critical submittals approved and materials ordered. Please let me know what your thoughts are on the meeting. If
we can get everything moved along we would like to start construction 7/20/20.

I got direction from the City that we can go ahead and schedule the PreConstruction Conference now. They will require
that it’s hosted online via Webex given the number of folks attending.
Do you have a preference on dates/times?

We would plan on working on the project throughout the winter with a minimal shutdown. This would make it so that
we would need an extension of contract time for the micro tunnel and tie in work though.

Eric,
I followed up with Bob again, we’re good with the extended schedule and a winter shut down and then coming back
next spring. Do you think you need additional time in addition to the winter shut down (i.e., do you plan to work on
stuff through the winter also?).
Also, I’m fairly certain that the building move will be just fine, but we have to run it past the planning department for
changes- they might require another tree or two, but I can’t imagine they would care otherwise.

Cora,
I would just like to follow up on the conversation had about the added contract time. Right now the micro tunnel
subcontractor is saying that they will not be able to start due to winter weather conditions until the end of April. Once
they begin they believe that they can complete all of there work within 10 weeks. This would then leave the installation
and tie ins of pipe for COP to complete after the tunnel is installed. We would still like to try and start this project this
year as of 7/20/20 to complete everything besides the micro tunnel. However we would like to come to a mutual
agreement about the schedule before we have a definite start date to allow for the project to be completed without
liquidated damages. Also one item still hanging out there that we would like to get finalized is the building move. Can
you please give me an update on the status of the RFI associated with that.

Ted,
Attached is our current schedule showing the estimated completion date of April 4, 2021 for the buildings and May 7,
2021 for the microtunnel. If we shift the building 30 feet east we would be able to build the lift station and wet well
concurrently. The shift would also allow the lift station to be constructed out of the impacted zone of the wet well and
we would be able to start on the lift station sooner and potentially minimize cold weather concrete pours.
Due to the submittal process and long lead times on materials, the microtunnel will not start prior to the October 15
cutoff point for work in this region. As a result, it is pushed out to next spring. The microtunnel contractor is currently
saying they wouldn’t be able to start until after Easter.
As a solution, COP is suggesting we complete as much work as we can during the 2020 construction season and leave
the microtunnel to be completed next spring. This would require an extension of contract time to allow for the
microtunnel work to begin next April which would be past the estimated March 16 finish date.
Please let me know if you have an questions regarding our schedule.
Thank you,

Mr. Eric Smith
COP Construction LLC

Billings, MT 59106
Eric,
This letter is in response to COP’s April 2nd, 2021 letter pertaining to scheduling for the
Davis Lane Lift Station and Norton Ranch Outfall Sewer Project. In the letter, COP
restates their position regarding COVID-19 scheduling delays on the microtunneling
portion of the project, and requests additional contract time and reimbursements to
complete the project. COP states they are incurring $3,023.26 per day in additional costs
due to the resultant delay in work. This cost includes $2,071.20 for a crane and $764.00
for labor. This was the first mention by COP of additional project costs. COP requests that
all days of work above the 54 remaining contract days be reimbursed to COP.
Section 4.05.C of the General Conditions states that:
If Contractor’s performance or progress is delayed, disrupted, or interfered with by
unanticipated causes not the fault of and beyond the control of Owner, Contractor,
and those for which they are responsible, then Contractor shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment in Contract Times. Such an adjustment will be Contractor’s
sole and exclusive remedy for the delays, disruption, and interference described in
this paragraph.
Section 4.05.C.1 lists epidemics as a cause of delay which may give rise to an adjustment
in contract times under the above paragraph. The General Conditions explicitly state that
an adjustment in contract time (and not cost) will be Contractor’s sole and exclusive
remedy for any delays resulting from epidemics such as COVID-19. As such, any and all
requests for an adjustment in contract price as a result of COVID-19 delays, including the
$3,023.26 per day requested by COP in their April 2nd letter, are rejected.
Section 4.05.E.4 of the General Conditions states that any Contractor seeking an increase
in Contract Times must be supplemented by, “The number of days’ increase in Contract
Time claimed as a consequence of each such cause of delay, disruption, or interference”.
COP has not requested an explicit increase in the number of contract days in their

correspondence to the City regarding the microtunneling delays. COP’s original schedule
showed a start date of 6/1/2020 and a completion date of 1/26/2021, a timespan equal to
240 calendar days. Since the microtunneling delays became apparent, COP’s updated
schedules have consistently shown a project start date of 7/20/2020 and a project
completion date of 7/7/2021. Change Order No. 2 increased the contract time by seven
days, and CPR No. 17 increased the contract time by one day. As a result of these
changes, the current Contract Time consists of 248 calendar days.
A winter shutdown was taken beginning January 29th, 2021, and work resumed on April
2nd, 2021. As of January 29th, 194 calendar days of contract time had been used, leaving
54 calendar days to complete the project when work resumed on April 2nd, 2021. Based on
COP’s projected completion date of 7/7/2021, 97 calendar days are required to complete
the project, an increase of 43 calendar days from current remaining Contract Time.
In an initial response to COP, dated July 14th, 2020, it was suggested that COP proceed
with the project until the wet well deck pour was complete, and then commence a winter
shutdown until microtunneling work could begin. All remaining project work could then be
finished concurrently with the microtunneling, allowing for the project to be completed
within the 240 calendar day contract period, or close to it. As previously stated, COP did
decide to take a winter shutdown on 1/29/2021 after the wet well lid was poured, but the
pour date of 1/27/2021 was much later than the originally shown pour date of 12/28/2020
shown on the September, October and November schedules (Schedule ID 1190). This
delay in pouring the wet well lid is largely attributed to the wet well foundation concrete
strength deficiencies, which halted major progress on the wet well construction until it was
clear that the concrete would reach adequate strength requirements.
Had the lid been poured on 12/28/2020 and a winter shutdown been commenced
thereafter, 86 calendar days of contract time would have remained to finish the project
(using the adjusted time of 248 calendar days). COP’s adjusted schedules have shown 94
calendar days of work required to finish the project from the time microtunneling work
commences on 4/5/2021 to the completion of startup on 7/7/2021. This overrun of eight
calendar days is much less than the current projected overrun of 43 calendar days.
Additionally, COP left the project site for a holiday break beginning on 12/23/2021 without
invoking any shutdown or formal stoppage of work. COP returned to the site on 1/4/2021.
Had COP requested a shutdown for the holidays, one would have been granted by the
City. Consequently, the City will provide these 12 calendar days back to COP.

In summary, the additional costs are rejected in full and the allowance of an additional 20
calendar days is appropriate, eight days for the microtunneling delays and twelve days for
the time that COP left the site on a holiday break.

RE: Davis Lane Contract Time Extension- Change Proposal Request
Davis Lane Lift Station & Norton East Ranch Outfall Sewer Project
COP Project No. 20106
Dear Mrs. Revis,
The below information is a request for additional contract time and costs due to the COVID-19
schedule delays on the Davis Lane Lift Station and East Ranch Outfall Sewer Project Schedule.
During the bidding process it was stated at the pre bid meeting on March 25, 2020 that any
delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic would be addressed at the time of the delay.
Guidance from the City of Bozeman was given to proceed with bidding as if the project could
progress without any interruption or delay in material procurement. Before construction began
COP Construction LLC (COP) set up a meeting on June 12, 2020 to discuss schedule impacts
relating to material delays to determine how the City of Bozeman would like to proceed. COP
received very little guidance and sent follow up emails sent on June 15, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
The response in an email from Bob Murray on July 14, 2020 then stated that the City of
Bozeman wanted the contract to proceed and shut down after the pipe work was completed to
be taken. A letter following up this email was then issued on December 18, 2020 stating, that
the city is in a general disagreement with a contract extension due to COP’s continued work on
critical path items in lieu of the use of an available winter shut down. On January 29, 2021 COP
took a winter shutdown to try and preserve as much contract time as possible due to the delay of
the micro tunnel which caused delays in other work which was originally scheduled to progress
without a winter shutdown. However, the contract does not state a winter shutdown must be
taken due to delays which are caused by events outside of the contractors control.
Originally the micro tunnel was scheduled to begin on August 31, 2020 and be completed by
November 6, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the casing material delivery dates were
pushed from 8 weeks to 16 weeks per the letter from Trinity Products and the email from
Primoris Services Corporation.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9CA13A87-8E80-4BE8-B04E-1ED722999A34
The change in the casing delivery schedule put the starting time of the micro tunnel into a time of
year that it could not be completed due to freezing conditions. If it were not for the delay of the
casing pipe the micro tunnel could have been started and completed within the original contract
times allowing float on this activity in case of delays relating to installation. In Article 4.05 C. it
states that if the Contractor’s performance or progress is delayed, disrupted, or interfered with by
the unanticipated causes not the fault of and beyond the control of Owner, Contractor and those
for which they are responsible, then Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in
contract times. Also, under Article 4.05 C. 1. it lists epidemics as being a reason for contract
time extensions due to uncontrollable delays. In delaying the micro tunnel and not being able to
complete it concurrently it has made it so that COP is incurring additional costs due to the delay
in work. The costs are $3,023.26/ day and they are outlined in the attached pricing sheet. If the
work were able to run concurrently as planned management and equipment time would have not
been increased due to multiple activities being able to be completed at once.
Due to the additional time required to complete the project COP is requesting that all days above
the 54 remaining contract days which are required for the micro tunnel, startup, and final tie-in
work be reimbursed to COP. Attached is a schedule outlining anticipated delays. If the Covid-19
pandemic had not occurred, the project would have been able to progress as bid per the
direction of the City of Bozeman during the bidding process.
Sincerely,
Eric Smith

Although it is not an overwhelming case that’s been made, I could see a recommendation to the commission that this
meets the criteria in section 4.05.C.1, but there is still a big disconnect in my opinion that needs justification. After all,
they say it is no cost, but by approving this change, we will be committing to some level of inspection for an additional 4
months. In reviewing the schedules they provided, the original had a duration of 176 days for the wet well and lift
station (from excavate to workbench – Painter), but the revised one has gone up to 259 days. A difference of 83 days, or
the majority of the request. Since all of the lift station of that work is after the 1st of the year, the delays pointed to by
the electrician don’t explain the change.
They have made an all or nothing request – either give them an extension and let them work through the winter
basically at their own pace, or wait to start until next year. I still feel that there is a middle ground that is very workable
and what I thought they were requesting right from the beginning. Finish all of the pipe work as shown on their
schedule, get the wet well done through their item 1190 and then shut down for the rest of the winter. The rest of the
lift station work can then be done concurrently with the mirotunnel in the spring. We may need to give a short
extension, but it would be significantly less than the 50% increase they are asking for now.

WARNING: PLEASE USE CAUTION. THIS EMAIL ORIGINATED FROM OUTSIDE THE COP CONSTRUCTION ORGANIZATION.
Eric,
Thank you for the information. I need a little more on the specifics per the contract and suggest a formal letter to the
City with all of the documentation. We need two versions of the schedule, one that shows your original plan and
completing the critical path within the time allotted and then the critical path being impacted and updated per your
email and documentation. I’ve attached the relevant section of the specs for your reference as you gather the
materials.
In summary, a formal request stating:
· What was assumed during the bid, and what formal correspondence or communications can you provide that
substantiates their original assumption?
· What has changed that impacts the original baseline schedule that showed completion of the contract within
the times in the Agreement? What do those changes do to the Critical Path, and is a Contract Change
supported.
· Were the changes claimed out of the control of the Contractor? This will need to be substantiated through
something formal from their suppliers and/or subcontractor I am guessing for the City to be able to accept.
· The Contractor should in their written narrative clearly state whether any costs are associated with the Change,
or whether the change in Contract Time can be addressed without a Change in Contract Price. There need to be
bookends on their formal request. All needs to be very formal, and written in a letter request from the
Contractor, as the City will need that for acceptance or denial.
Thank you,

Cora,
I have updated COP’s project schedule for the Davis Lift Station Project. With the concerns that I have expressed
relating to delays due to Covid-19 the completion time for the project is going to be hard to do within the original
contract time. During the bidding of the project it was anticipated that the micro tunnel work could run concurrently
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9CA13A87-8E80-4BE8-B04E-1ED722999A34
2
with the project. With the project bidding on 4/15/20 the effects of the Covid-19 shutdowns were unknown on how it
would affect all material deliveries. The micro tunnel sub-contractor which was used in both bids submitted for the
project stated to COP during bid time that casing pipe had a lead time of 8 weeks. As of 7/7/20 the pipe has now pushed
another 8 weeks to make a total lead time of 16 weeks following approved submittals. The lead time of the pipe has
pushed the micro tunnel into a time of the year which they cannot complete the project due to below freezing
temperatures. Also, please see the below email from Primoris stating problems due to restricted international travel
and crews not being able to travel to complete the project until further notice. With delaying the start of the project
this year to allow for time to be made up it will impact the original project schedule as all surface restoration will not be
able to be completed and additional costs would be incurred if temporary surfacing was required. COP is not proposing
adding any additional costs to the project due to the delays however adding contract time. COP and all the
subcontractors involved have devoted a large portion of their schedules to this project this year as the contract sets
specific start dates to imply construction is to begin 30 days following award. We are diligently trying to get updates on
delivery times of materials and submittals. However with companies throughout the United States having different
restrictions the submittal process has been slowed. One remaining major concern is all electrical and control
equipment. Vertex Electric is meeting with their suppliers today to review delivery times of submittal and materials. I
will forward all correspondence relating to changes in lead times from subs as I receive it. Please let me know if you
have any further questions as COP would like to try and keep the schedule of starting 7/20/20.
Eric,
When we received our quote from the Steel Casing supplier on April 07,2020. The lead time for
the material was 8 weeks. By the time we received the contracts and issued a Letter of Intent to
our supplier it was June 22, 2020. Because of impacts at both the Steel Pipe Fabrication Shop
and Pipe Coating Shops because of COVID 19 the lead time has jumped to 16 weeks.
We are also having issues with International Travel Restrictions. Our equipment for this project
is manufactured in Germany. All the tunneling equipment to be used on this project is currently
in use across various locations in the Continental United States. The cutter head for this project
will be fabricated in German and shipped to our Equipment Yard in Corona, Ca. The typical
process is for our mechanics and operators to tear down and replace components of the MTBM
that need repair or replacements. The cutter head is then mounted on the MTBM and the entire
system is tested and run for several days. The issue we are facing is we typically have a
technician from the factory in German come with a new cutter head to make sure the cutter
wheel and equipment are all in balance and runs correctly. With the international travel
restrictions we no longer have that ability. This problem is not unique to this project. Not only
can’t we have the factory folks come over from Germany our USA based MTS Consultant is
currently stuck in Germany. We have been working with the Department of Commerce and the
German Consulate in Los Angeles to get some of the folks back to the States. I currently have a
lead engineer and three tunnel operators banned from travel.
· Andreas Thiele MTS Perforator USA Consultant ( MTS Perforator MTBM Manufacturer)
is a Germany National was in Germany for sons birthday and is now currently prohibited
from travel to the US
· Steffen Dammsch Microtunnel Machine Operator is a Germany National in Germany

· Alexey Belogurov Microtunnel Machine Operator is a Germany National in Germany
and is now currently prohibited from travel to the US
· Polakov Gennadi Microtunnel Machine Operator is a Germany National in Germany and

We have US based operators and mechanics all working to fill the gaps on all of our various
ongoing projects and upcoming projects. However, the Covid 19 Travel Restrictions from Europe

we navigate our way through the process with the Department of Commerce and the German

Per our conversation COP is requesting an extension of contract time due to material delivery delays and how it affects
our subcontractors schedules on the project. Many delays such as the micro tunnel casing delivery being 12 weeks out
after an approved submittal would push the start so late in the year that the sub is not able to tunnel due to winter
conditions. The micro tunnel anticipated start would then be pushed until early April with approximately 10 weeks
scheduled for the micro tunnel to be completed. Then the remainder of utility work in the tunnel for COP would push
the schedule past the original contract time. Also, the controls and the generator are showing a 6 month lead time after
approved submittals. With the large delivery delays it has made it so that we can not run many activities concurrently in
our schedule therefore the project schedule would run over the original contract time. COP would like to start the
project 7/20/20 to allow for the majority of the utility work to be installed before the end of the 2020 construction
season. With using this approach it will allow for restoration to be completed this year on the majority of the project
along with moving the project completion date up from the end of next year or early 2022 to the middle of summer
2021. With COP beginning this year a winter shutdown would not be very significant once winter sets in the focus would
be inside the lift station building and getting all finish work completed and electrical work done to allow for the crafts to
minimize delays due to unforeseen conditions later in the project. The majority of the delays relate to the Covid-19 and
that they have pushed many suppliers delivery dates out much longer than anticipated during bidding. COP is not asking
for any additional payment due to the extension. However would like to come to an agreement on how we can
complete the project at the earliest date possible without having the project suffer liquidated damages. Please let me
know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Eric Smith

Cora,
We could do a meeting late next week. However before we issue a notice to proceed I want to make sure we are able to
have critical submittals approved and materials ordered. Please let me know what your thoughts are on the meeting. If
we can get everything moved along we would like to start construction 7/20/20.

Eric/Sam,
I got direction from the City that we can go ahead and schedule the PreConstruction Conference now. They will require
that it’s hosted online via Webex given the number of folks attending.
Do you have a preference on dates/times?
Thank you,

Cora,
We would plan on working on the project throughout the winter with a minimal shutdown. This would make it so that
we would need an extension of contract time for the micro tunnel and tie in work though.

Eric,
I followed up with Bob again, we’re good with the extended schedule and a winter shut down and then coming back
next spring. Do you think you need additional time in addition to the winter shut down (i.e., do you plan to work on
stuff through the winter also?).
Also, I’m fairly certain that the building move will be just fine, but we have to run it past the planning department for
changes- they might require another tree or two, but I can’t imagine they would care otherwise.

Cora,
I would just like to follow up on the conversation had about the added contract time. Right now the micro tunnel
subcontractor is saying that they will not be able to start due to winter weather conditions until the end of April. Once
they begin they believe that they can complete all of there work within 10 weeks. This would then leave the installation
and tie ins of pipe for COP to complete after the tunnel is installed. We would still like to try and start this project this
year as of 7/20/20 to complete everything besides the micro tunnel. However we would like to come to a mutual
agreement about the schedule before we have a definite start date to allow for the project to be completed without
liquidated damages. Also one item still hanging out there that we would like to get finalized is the building move. Can
you please give me an update on the status of the RFI associated with that.
Thanks,

Ted,
Attached is our current schedule showing the estimated completion date of April 4, 2021 for the buildings and May 7,
2021 for the microtunnel. If we shift the building 30 feet east we would be able to build the lift station and wet well
concurrently. The shift would also allow the lift station to be constructed out of the impacted zone of the wet well and
we would be able to start on the lift station sooner and potentially minimize cold weather concrete pours.
Due to the submittal process and long lead times on materials, the microtunnel will not start prior to the October 15
cutoff point for work in this region. As a result, it is pushed out to next spring. The microtunnel contractor is currently
saying they wouldn’t be able to start until after Easter.
As a solution, COP is suggesting we complete as much work as we can during the 2020 construction season and leave
the microtunnel to be completed next spring. This would require an extension of contract time to allow for the
microtunnel work to begin next April which would be past the estimated March 16 finish date.
Please let me know if you have an questions regarding our schedule.
Thank you,
Sam Bower

Mr. Eric Smith

Billings, MT 59106
Eric,
This letter is in response to COP’s April 2nd, 2021 letter pertaining to scheduling for the
Davis Lane Lift Station and Norton Ranch Outfall Sewer Project. In the letter, COP
restates their position regarding COVID-19 scheduling delays on the microtunneling
portion of the project, and requests additional contract time and reimbursements to
complete the project. COP states they are incurring $3,023.26 per day in additional costs
due to the resultant delay in work. This cost includes $2,071.20 for a crane and $764.00
for labor. This was the first mention by COP of additional project costs. COP requests that
all days of work above the 54 remaining contract days be reimbursed to COP.
Section 4.05.C of the General Conditions states that:
If Contractor’s performance or progress is delayed, disrupted, or interfered with by
unanticipated causes not the fault of and beyond the control of Owner, Contractor,
and those for which they are responsible, then Contractor shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment in Contract Times. Such an adjustment will be Contractor’s
sole and exclusive remedy for the delays, disruption, and interference described in
this paragraph.
Section 4.05.C.1 lists epidemics as a cause of delay which may give rise to an adjustment
in contract times under the above paragraph. The General Conditions explicitly state that
an adjustment in contract time (and not cost) will be Contractor’s sole and exclusive
remedy for any delays resulting from epidemics such as COVID-19. As such, any and all
requests for an adjustment in contract price as a result of COVID-19 delays, including the
$3,023.26 per day requested by COP in their April 2nd letter, are rejected.
Section 4.05.E.4 of the General Conditions states that any Contractor seeking an increase
in Contract Times must be supplemented by, “The number of days’ increase in Contract
Time claimed as a consequence of each such cause of delay, disruption, or interference”.
COP has not requested an explicit increase in the number of contract days in their

correspondence to the City regarding the microtunneling delays. COP’s original schedule
showed a start date of 6/1/2020 and a completion date of 1/26/2021, a timespan equal to
240 calendar days. Since the microtunneling delays became apparent, COP’s updated
schedules have consistently shown a project start date of 7/20/2020 and a project
completion date of 7/7/2021. Change Order No. 2 increased the contract time by seven
days, and CPR No. 17 increased the contract time by one day. As a result of these
changes, the current Contract Time consists of 248 calendar days.
A winter shutdown was taken beginning January 29th, 2021, and work resumed on April
2nd, 2021. As of January 29th, 194 calendar days of contract time had been used, leaving
54 calendar days to complete the project when work resumed on April 2nd, 2021. Based on
COP’s projected completion date of 7/7/2021, 97 calendar days are required to complete
the project, an increase of 43 calendar days from current remaining Contract Time.
In an initial response to COP, dated July 14th, 2020, it was suggested that COP proceed
with the project until the wet well deck pour was complete, and then commence a winter
shutdown until microtunneling work could begin. All remaining project work could then be
finished concurrently with the microtunneling, allowing for the project to be completed
within the 240 calendar day contract period, or close to it. As previously stated, COP did
decide to take a winter shutdown on 1/29/2021 after the wet well lid was poured, but the
pour date of 1/27/2021 was much later than the originally shown pour date of 12/28/2020
shown on the September, October and November schedules (Schedule ID 1190). This
delay in pouring the wet well lid is largely attributed to the wet well foundation concrete
strength deficiencies, which halted major progress on the wet well construction until it was
clear that the concrete would reach adequate strength requirements.
Had the lid been poured on 12/28/2020 and a winter shutdown been commenced
thereafter, 86 calendar days of contract time would have remained to finish the project
(using the adjusted time of 248 calendar days). COP’s adjusted schedules have shown 94
calendar days of work required to finish the project from the time microtunneling work
commences on 4/5/2021 to the completion of startup on 7/7/2021. This overrun of eight
calendar days is much less than the current projected overrun of 43 calendar days.
Additionally, COP left the project site for a holiday break beginning on 12/23/2021 without
invoking any shutdown or formal stoppage of work. COP returned to the site on 1/4/2021.
Had COP requested a shutdown for the holidays, one would have been granted by the
City. Consequently, the City will provide these 12 calendar days back to COP.

In summary, the additional costs are rejected in full and the allowance of an additional 20
calendar days is appropriate, eight days for the microtunneling delays and twelve days for
the time that COP left the site on a holiday break.
