Furthermore, I do not have an insurance claim pending nor does my neighboring building at 302. My building does not connect physically to 304 in any way. Although I do think the work done thus far has been substandard, and I would prefer a different contractor to complete the job, Mr. Slone is in no way “legally” held back from fulfilling his duty to make the construction zone safe, remove construction debris or to mitigate more structural damages from rain to my building. I understand Mr. Slone has a right to delay pouring concrete until the City’s contract deadline, but his continued neglect for safety and stopping future damages to my property is very hard for me to understand. Like I said before, my property was never included in the litigation, nor does it connect to any property that is currently in litigation. Contractual obligations are not “voided” because of personal feelings. Mr. Maness, the attorney representing my daughter, has further clarified the temporary restraining order in question was lifted around the beginning of June, which was several weeks ago…please feel free to clarify this with the contractor during your weekly meetings. Again, I am asking for sand bags for the front of my building and caution tape for the protection of my customers and the public in general. When Mr. Slone does form and pour the concrete, I am respectfully requesting that you be here to check the grading of the formed boards, before the concrete is poured. We are depending on you, as the City’s engineer, to make sure Mr. Slone is following the engineering guidelines put forth in the City’s plans. Please clarify what the contract deadline is now, as it’s my understanding the initial dates may have been adjusted for weather days. On a different note, can you please request a camera/video assessment of the drain line that runs down the side of my building. I must have misunderstood that this was already complete. Since the hole is exposed and easy to get to, I feel this would be an easy time to go ahead and get this done before finishing the concrete. If there is a cost for this, please let me know. Lasty, I have a question about the drain lines stored in front of the property. Will these lines be installed in front or are they just being stored there. From looking at the engineering plans, I couldn’t see where any new drainage lines were listed to be installed, but I just may be missing something. If they “will” be installed in front of the area, can you kindly tell me what page on the plans show this. If it is a part of an engineering change order that I don’t have, please provide the drawings and information for those changes (and all other change orders related to the 300th block). Thank you for your help Eric and we all look forward to having the block complete. Mike Mike Slusser Mikes Corner Shoe Store 300 N.
