Re: Rockingham Drainage Project
Authorization of Final Payment
Our File No. 12951.0267
Dear Connie and Board Members:
Reference is made to Jay Paggi's letter of November 10, 1998, requesting clarification on whether
Kalmart Enterprises, the general contractor, is entitled to release of the retainage. I have since
discussed the contents of Mr. Paggi's letter and he confirms that the project was complete in
October of 1997. His reference that is was not "finalized" until January of 1998 had to do with the
payment of vouchers and not completion of the project. Accordingly, and assuming the contractor
has complied with all other elements of the contract, he is entitled to release of the retainage.
Very truly yours,
VE...4I~TENGER, ROBERTS & PERGAMENT
