Dear Mr. Cole:
This will serve to acknowledge your letter dated February II, 2001.
Per your request for insurance information for Avilia Construction Company, I contacted
our Public Works Department. In checking the file on this project was back in the
summer of 1995. They were unable to provide me with any insurance information on the
contractor. However, I was able to locate the contract signed between the City and A vilia
Construction Company, which was signed on May I 1.+995. Section 5 of the contract
points out that the contractor is required to obtain Liability Insurance and have the City
listed as an additional insured.
As we discussed, I suggested that you formally filed your claim with A vilia Construction
Company, as your allegations are that this contractor damaged your sewer lateral while
widening the street.
If you have any further questions, kindly contact Risk Management at (909) 384-5308.
