The Food Bank is requesting CSDC administer a contract with Avila Construction for their site improvements to San Felipe Rd frontage and parking lot improvement that access their building. The contract amount is $57,461.The Food Bank Board has approved the expense and repayment in full to CSDC if we choose to administer the contract.

I’m writing this notice of disputes to inform you that I disagree with the proposal of change the construction program in accordance with AS4000 clause 42.1.

Kellerher Funeral Home, Inc. is claiming that a breach of contract has occurred in as much as the work completed by Gonzaga Construction was of sufficiently poor quality as to require rework that cost $4,700. Further, though Kellerher controlled the delays in construction due to his need to continue business operations, he is charging that the lost profit is due to construction delays brought about by Gonazaga's work on the site. The contract language did not stipulate how the interests of the going concern would be balanced against construction project schedule. Indeed, no date of completion was specified in the contract, and a two-week interim between the filing and the commencement of construction is a reasonable period of time for material procurement and arranging for labor. Moreover, the poor workmanship allegation was not communicated during the construction project, leaving Gonzaga with no opportunity to correct any problems with workmanship. For both parties to the contract, it is generally understood that a business contract agreement for services includes some intangibles, such as cooperation, quality of work, reliable communication, experience, and so forth. An essential element in a contract is consideration, which refers to a benefit to the promisor or a detriment to the promise. In other words, consideration is an exchange that is bargained for in the present in return for

The owner called Ron Engineering to sign the execution agreement as he considered the submitted tender as an obligation for the tenderer to execute the project.

As the Director of Long Island and Cypress Hills National Cemeteries, I prepare, justify, and administer a combined operating of $9,259,500.00. Planning and evaluating contracting and procurements can be difficult if not coordinated and monitored correctly. LINC is currently under a large renovation period there are 12 multi-year contracts being managed valued at over $25 million. I oversee three National Shrine Concrete Beam System contracts. The first at Cypress Hills National Cemetery valued at $6,324,083.66, a second contract at Long Island National Cemetery valued at $3,686,856.50 and a third valued at $3,382,940. In addition to these Raise and Realign Millennium contracts valued at $13.3 million, I manage several internal maintenance contracts. The grave repair and fine-tune alignment contracts valued at $715,700.00. LINC’s mowing contract valued at $810,152.00, a mowing contract at Cypress Hills valued at $1,001,355.60, Headstone Setting and cleaning contract valued at $339,815.00, and a trimming contract for Cypress Hills and Long Island valued at $35,661.00. I maintain oversight and manage these contracts through my staff; I have five staff members that are Contracting Officer Representatives (COR). Though they are managing each contract, I conduct contract review and inspections on a weekly basis. To accomplish this I require each COR to complete and forward to me a weekly observation sheet. This sheet tracks all actions related to each contract on a weekly basis to ensure any errors by the contractors are documents and retained. I personally manage two of the larger contracts to provide my employees with a positive example of how to manage contracts. Managing a large number of contracts has provided me with the

So how will having an effective jingle be able to boost the goodwill of Cypress College? Well, this jingle can uplift the school’s “brand name recognition” by highlighting all the great things offered at our school and the accolades that we have earned over the years. The goodwill can also be affected by demonstrating the positive reputation the school has garnered from students and the staff.

There are three contracts between Coastal Service and Supply Inc. and Vinoy Place. Both of the parties are properly identified although the full legal name Vinoy Place Condominium Association Inc. was not used as it should be. Additionally, the contracts that I reviewed were not signed by the President of Coastal Service and Supply so they are not enforceable. The scope of work is stated that an inspection will be performed as required and routine service maintenance including oil and filter changes will be provided. The amount of compensation is clearly stated on each contract however it does not state when the compensation is to be paid. The frequency is stated but it is not
