Assistant Engineer  March 14,2018  Dear Sir/Madam  On February 10th and 11,Dale County received 6-7 inches of rain on the west side of the county near Enterprise. Dale County Road 17 was partially eroded away andt the asphalt undermined from the edge oft the pavement to the centerline oft the road, and Dale County Road & Bridge Upon inspecting the site, Iobserved a recent utility cut made by your agency approximately 31 feet deep on the shoulder oft the right-of-way that had not been' backfilled or compacted properly nor had any erosion control efforts put inj place. Due to your lack of proper management practices to protect from erosion, the heavy rain washed out your trench and damaged Dale County's roadbed. On February 15th the Dale County Road & Bridge Department personnel cut and removed the portion of asphalt that was undermined; excavated down into the subbase approximately 2 feet deep to a stable material. Then they hauled in and compacted 180 cubic yards of sandy-clay base material and brought in another 94 cubic yards of 825B Dense Grade. The final layer consisted of 45 tons of asphalt wearing surface which had to be performed by a contractor for the amount of $10,000.00, and on February 22 the damage repair was completed and the road was reopened for Including labor, materials, equipment and contractor, the total cost to Dale County to repair the damages caused by your defective work was $27,021.06. Therefore, at this time I am invoicing your agency for the total amount listed above. Please make check payable to the "Dale County If you have questions in this regard or need furtheri information regarding this matter please You are requested to pay the above amount within 30 days from the date of your receipt of this letter. In the event that you fail to do so, Iwill recommend to the Dale County Commission that legal counsel proceed with action as necessary to seek reimbursement of these taxpayer funds which we were caused to expend as a result of youri improper construction and erosion protection.  personnel had to close the road.  traffic.
