Dear First Name:

We bid this project based on your having the work on the project in such condition that on Start Date, we could start our work in the Area of Work and continue work uninterrupted until its conclusion utilizing one (1) crew. This letter will serve to confirm your verbal directive today in which you advised us our work areas are not available to us as we had planned and you directed us not to start work at the jobsite until we were advised by you at a later date that we could start. We have scheduled our entire operation to have this work completed by Completition Date. Your directive will require us to reschedule our crew, store our materails at the job site, rehandle it, perform our work in periods of higher wage rates, out of the normal sequence of doing such work and at times of adverse weather which otherwise would not have been encountered. All of these will entail additional labor and additional cost to us and, as we advised you today, all these additional costs and expenses will be for your account and we expect you to promptly pay us for these additional costs and expenses. We also expect and are entitled to receive a commensurate extension of contract time.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
