The city employee was very nice and said nobody had ever asked them to reduce their bill before. I asked them if they could recalculate their bill. When I talked to the city about their bill, I politely explained that it seemed high, and others did the work for less. I called around and was able to find a contractor that did the same work, and he told me what he would bill the city for the same length of rail. The city billed the tow company based on their own workers labor, plus supervision, etc. I carefully measured the pressure treated posts and measured the now repaired guard rail. I was able to verify the precise crash site when I found the driver's log book in a ditch. So I drive all the way back to the same spot. Wouldn't you know it, I was assigned a claim a day later for a guard rail damaged by a tow truck going off the road on the same rural road I had driven on the day before. I went through some isolated areas a hundred miles from my home. I once drove from Palm Springs or some place way out in the desert I can't remember back to LA, and I went off the freeway to avoid a huge traffic jam several miles long.
