January 6, 2015 Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc. 1360 Old Dixie Highway SW, Suite 106 Vero Beach FL 32962 (772) 564 7800 Phone (772) 564 7888 Fax Tim rose7(dcomcast.net Mr. Chip Boyette Indian River County 180127 1h Street Vero Beach FL 32960 Re: 12th Street & 27th Ave Intersection Improvements Dear Mr. Boyette, Chip, as you are aware, we had delays on this project due to AT&Ts lack of knowing where and what there cables were. Once we exposed AT&T cables/conduit, we determined that the only way to get under cables/conduit was to add two type H structures, one on either side of 27th Ave. We also had to change pipe from round to elliptical so we could get under AT&T. There was an additional 14 days lost due to procurement and installation. We were also delayed at 29th Ave waiting on AT&T and FP&L to bore and splice where cables were in conflict with installation of 60" RCP, which caused 14 days of delay. Again we had delays due to AT&T at the east end of project. There was a 50 pair cable in conflict with under drain and riprap, which delayed us another 6 days. We also had several rain events that ceased our operation, due to several ditches from north and south that drained directly into our pipe. On November 20th, we received 2.59" of rain and on November 21St, 4.23" of rain before the area had drained, we received another 1.5" of rain on December 1st. Due to these major rain events we could not begin installing 60" RCP east of 27th Ave until December 51h, 2013, of which was a total of 12 days delayed, due to 3 rain events. On January 15t 2014, we received 0.75" of rain which stopped RCP installation again until January 61h, in which 4 more days delayed. Another rain event was on January 29th, we got 0.50" and January 30th, we got 0.83" of rain where 5 days were lost. On February 12th, we received 0.75" of rain, in which we were delayed 1 day again and on February 21 we received 0.50" again we were delayed another day. The total days delayed were 57 days which would extend final completion date from April 27th to June 24th. Total of 57 days lost due to rain and AT&T.
