DOT recommends denial of this claim. DOT states that Payne and Dolan was the primary contractor for this road construction project. DOT notes that all state construction contracts have a hold harmless agreement by which the contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the state from all claims for damages received by any person on account of any act, omission, neglect or misconduct of the contractor. DOT believes the claimant should pursue his claim for damages with Payne and Dolan and that his claim against the DOT should be denied.
The Board concludes there has been an insufficient showing of negligence on the part of the state, its officers, agents or employees and this claim is neither one for which the state is legally liable nor one with the state should assume and pay based on equitable principles.
The Board concludes:
That the following identified claimants are denied:
David Albino
Canadian Pacific Railway
Pastori M. Balele
Hortense Lewallen
Antonio Ferrer
That payment of the amounts below to the identified claimants from the following statutory appropriations is justified under § 16.007, Stats: Szymanski
That payment of the amounts below to the identified claimants from the following statutory appropriations is justified under § 775.05, Stats: Dated at Madison, Wisconsin this 29th day of December, 2014.
