D . B . G . #01DB-79-04-20-01 - H03 <br /> Dear Ms . Boyette ; <br /> Please consider this a request for a six (6 ) month time extension on the above reference Community <br /> Development Block Grant project. This will extend the contract from July 28 , 2005 to Ja uary 28 , 2006 . <br /> Due to circumstances arising from hurricanes Frances and Jeanne , Indian River County has had great <br /> difficulty in procuring contractors willing to bid on CDBG program construction pro ects . Since the <br /> hurricanes , qualified contractors have been in high demand , many indicating that they are still extremely <br /> busy with hurricane repairs from last year and are now busy with requests from local residents to retrofit <br /> their homes with hurricane protection materials as this year' s hurricane season approaches . <br /> Attached to this work plan modification request is a short synopsis of the accomplishmer is to date and the <br /> anticipated number of homes to be completed by the proposed modified deadline date . It is the County' s <br /> position that this additional six (6 ) month time extension request is justified because the conditions <br /> surrounding the recent delays were due to events that were beyond the County' s co trot and that the <br /> County has been doing everything within its means to have construction on all the homes completed by <br /> the current grant end date . <br /> The County appreciates the Department' s consideration of this six (6 ) month time extenion and the <br /> Department' s efforts to support the County' s endeavors to complete this project. If you have any <br /> questions regarding this , please contact Mr. Fred Fox , our Grants Administrator at ( 386 ) ',328-3822 . <br /> Sincerely , <br /> Thomas Lowther <br /> Chairman , BCC <br /> Enclosures <br /> cc: Fred Fox Enterprises , Inc . <br /> 1840 2P Street, Suite N- 158 <br /> Vero Beach, FL 32960-3365 <br /> Telephone: 772-226-1490 FAX: 772- 770-5334 <br /> Suncom: 224-1490 a-mail: kmassung@ircgov. com <br />
