rj S <br />iliv Corp. <br />GENERAL CONTRACTOR <br />March 20, 2014 <br />Ms. Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />Indian River County <br />1800 27th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Re: Indian River County Bid No. 2014006 <br />Central WWTP Sludge Holding Tank Modifications <br />Agreement between Owner & Contractor <br />Dear. Ms. Hyde, <br />We are returning two copies of the Agreement as well as the Public Construction Bond <br />and Certificate of Insurance as requested. <br />We want to express our concern that the time allotted for the project is inadequate and <br />the job can't be completed within the time stated in Article 3.1 of the Agreement for the <br />following reasons. <br />(a) 1. We are allowed 30 days to obtain permits. We can submit an application for <br />permit to the building department, but we have no control over how long it takes <br />to review the application and issue the permit. <br />(a) 2. & 5 Most of the materials specified will take 2 to 4 weeks to provide shop <br />drawings plus the time required by the engineer to review and approve them. <br />(a) 7. It is impossible to have all material delivered to the job in the first 30 days. <br />Some of the specialty equipment may take as long as 70 days after approval by <br />the engineer. <br />(b) We are allowed only 120 calendar days after permit to reach substantial <br />completion. If the time required receiving the specialty equipment is 70 days, <br />only 50 calendar days remain to finish the work Furthermore, there is a <br />constraint which requires that only one sludge holding tank can be out of service <br />at a time. That leaves only 25 calendar days per tank which is not enough time to <br />complete the work. <br />2001 N.W. 22nd Street o Pompano Beach, FL 33069 <br />Phone 954-975-0388 • Fax 954-975-3333 <br />
