RE: GRIFFITH COMPANY
As per the request of PRR-2023-484, please see the attached three most recent approved
progress payments (for work performed in April 2023, May 2023, and June 2023) for I-15/Main
Street Interchange Improvements Project. The following is a timeline of when the City received
and approved each progress payment:
• Progress Payment #13 (work performed in April 2023) – Invoice with approved
quantities was submitted by Griffith Company on 7/10/2023. City approved the invoice
for payment on 7/13/2023. Payment was sent to Griffith on 8/3/2023 cleared their
bank on 8/31/2023.
• Progress Payment #14 (work performed in May 2023) – Invoice with approved
quantities was submitted by Griffith Company on 8/2/2023. City approved the invoice
for payment on 8/3/2023. Payment was sent to Griffith on 8/10/2023 and cleared their
bank on 8/31/2023.
• Progress Payment #15 (work performed in June 2023) – Invoice with approved
quantities was submitted by Griffith Company on 9/8/2023. City approved the invoice
for payment on 9/11/2023. Payment was sent to Griffith on 9/21/2023 they payment
still shows pending clear in our system.
From the above timeline you can see Griffith Company’s submittals have been behind. For
example, the original Progress Payment #16 (for work performed in July 2023) was submitted by
Griffith Company on 9/7/2023. The City’s inspection team has reached out to Griffith Company
multiple times to go over quantity discrepancies for the July 2023 invoice and Griffith Company
has not scheduled the meeting yet. Some of the quantity discrepancies relate to Roadway
Excavation and Traffic Signal work (items that are not related to Drill Tech work).
The City prefers that Griffith Company gets up to date with their progress payments, but Griffith
Company is continuously not submitting progress payments in a timely manner nor coordinating
properly with the City Inspection team for quantities.
