Inc. C/O Furukawa Castles LLP. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve rejection of subject claim. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE <br />Excellence in Government Operations <br />BACKGROUND <br />Resolution Nos. 15081 and 15624 require City Council approval for the denial, allowance, allowance in <br />part, settlement, or compromise of a general liability claim, if it exceeds $50,000. The amount claimed by <br />the claimants exceeds that limit and therefore rejection must be approved by the City Council. <br />ANALYSIS <br />A subcontractor on the Veterans Memorial Building/Senior Center, McMillan Electric Co. Inc., through <br />their attorneys, Furukawa Castles LLP, submitted a government claim alleging $2.8 million dollars for <br />failure to pay for disruption and extra work on the project. The claim should be rejected as it is by a <br />subcontractor who is not in direct contract with the City. The claim is general and non-specific, lacking any <br />supporting explanation or documentation, and the project is still ongoing. <br />6.B. - Page 1 of 2 <br />66
