Summit Construction of Vero Beach, LLC <br />2837 Flight Safety Drive, Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Indian River County <br />1807 27th Street <br />Vero Beach FL, 32960 <br />Attn- Dan Wittenberg, Engineering Inspection Supervisor <br />Date: 4/9/15 <br />RE: Gifford Park Ball fields Grading Improvements, IRC Project #1336 <br />CBC 1259095 <br />Dan, I am providing this letter to update you on the current project schedule. As you are aware we <br />were able to complete the scope of work on both the football and softball field as required with in the <br />contract time. Unfortunately, as we are all aware, we experienced an abundance of rain from July thru <br />September. The rain delayed the planting, fertilizing, and herbicide of the Little League field during <br />the growing season of Bermuda grass (57 rain days from June -October). Bermuda grass becomes <br />dormant when the ground temp falls below 70 degrees (94 days were ground temp below 70). So <br />between the rain and the winter temperature we were about 151 days late from the finish contract <br />date. After speaking to Lee Heckman at Express Reel Grinding who is also contracted by the IRC <br />Parks Division for the upkeep of the field and David Fleetwood Superintendent of the IRC Parks <br />Division they both feel that the field is in acceptable condition. <br />We as you are anxious to get this project finale, approved by Board of County Commissioners and <br />move on. <br />We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. <br />Contact me with any questions concerning this project at anytime. <br />Lincoln Irons <br />Project Manager <br />Phone (772) 794-2099 <br />www.summitcm.net Fax (772) 794-2097 <br />
