Dna <br />CAUTION: This message is from an external source. Please use caution when opening attachments or clicking links. <br />Hi Parris, <br />We have reviewed the Boromei Construction schedule. This schedule does not comply with the <br />specifications and is inaccurate for the following reasons: <br />1. Page 12 of 37 of the documents call for a geotechnical report. It must be done prior to the <br />design of the tower and foundation. This activity and the time it takes is not included in their <br />schedule. That's 3 weeks. <br />2. Their schedule indicates the tower steel will be released 4 work days after contract award. <br />This is an unrealistic amount of time to get engineering and approvals done. We show a <br />realistic time of 18 work days from receipt of thew soil boring to approvals and release of <br />steel. That's 3 more weeks. <br />3. We show 3 days for you or DFS to inspect and accept the new tower prior to loading it. Their <br />schedule shows none. <br />4. Their schedule shows 2 days for DFS to install and test their equipment. We show 2 weeks. <br />5. Their schedule shows the tower demo to be one day with no clean-up. <br />In the notice of award it is stated the shorter schedule was the basis of award. The schedule <br />presented indicates a lack of basic tower construction knowledge and protocol. Please reconsider <br />your decision. <br />We would be glad to work with the user to trim our schedule as required to bring the project in <br />sooner. We usually present a realistic schedule and then beat it. By a lot. Ask our customers. <br />Additionally, how many towers has this company built? <br />Thanks, <br />❑® <br />Bill Brown <br />815 S Kings Ave. <br />Brandon, FL 33511 <br />813.335.4765 cell <br />64 <br />
