Hi Clay, I called again this morning and left a voice mail message, but thought it best to follow up with an email as well. Since we did not get your acceptance on the Y inlet as is, we replaced and pre-poured the concrete on Tuesday afternoon, obtaining a test cylinder in the process. EWI Engineering will distribute the test results to you as soon as they are available. The seven day test should be ready Wednesday, September 16th. (The attached items are the test results sent last week on the West end grate.) This completes all outstanding items listed below. We are ready for re-inspection. Please let me know your availability. The other outstanding items we need your assistance with include: · We have not received a response on the $30,000 invoice you approved and we submitted on August 3rd. · Once you complete your final inspection, when can we expect to receive our permanent Certificates of Occupancy? · What is the process for submitting our final request for payment under the EHOAA Developer Participation Agreement? If you need any additional information, please let me know. We are both anxious to see this project completed as quickly as possible. Thank you for your assistance.

Two notes: 1. I have attached the test results on the large inlet at the West end of the project, as well as a picture of the rebar prior to the pour. The concrete is testing out at 7099 PSI on the large grate which is above the 5000 PSI discussed. 2. Regarding the Y inlet on the north side: As you know, we cut off the concrete top of this Y inlet and replaced it with a grate. A very small concrete pour utilizing the same materials and process as the West End inlet was used to modify the opening to accommodate the grate. Due to the small amount of concrete used in this area, EWI (Materials Testing Service) cannot obtain a reliable test result (again, see attached). An option is to re-pour the very, very small amount of concrete, obtaining a sample in the process. Unfortunately, it would take just about as much concrete for the test sample as to do the small job. We ask, respectfully, that you accept the north Y inlet in its current condition. Please advise your thoughts on item two. If you will accept the existing concrete, we are ready for re-inspection at your convenience.

Our primary concern is the concrete that was placed for the two inlets, since it is apparent that no testing was completed and that we were not contacted for inspections. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks, Clay Barnett, P.E.

All items on the list were completed with the exception of item 9 (as-built plans from construction record drawings. The as-built plans are being delivered to your office today.) · During our walk-through this morning, September 2nd, you made a list of an additional nine items you want resolved. This list includes: 1) Pictures of rebar installation into grate at West end of project and a core to test the concrete (pictures attached. CD being delivered) 2) Saw cut the corner of the concrete at the south west junction of Romeo and the taxiway: fill with asphalt 3) Clean spot on Romeo in front of R2-10 Garage door 4) Core concrete on Y inlet to test concrete strength (or replace) 5) Clean and fill joint on Romeo in front of R4-18 6) Clean and fill joint on Romeo in front of R4-20 7) Clean and fill joint on Romeo in front of R6-30 8) Repair paint peeling on stripe in front of R4-20 9) Replace a patch of dead grass by north channel headwall · It is our understanding that once we address these nine items on your 4th check list, you will sign off on our project allowing us to obtain our permanent Certificate of Occupancy and present our final invoice. We plan to have all of these items completed this week. Please confirm this is your expectation as well. On a related matter, we submitted an invoice for $38,034.19 on May 15th relative to funds owed us under the EHOAA Developer Participation Agreement. Per your instructions and with your approval (instructions and approval given during our walk through six weeks later on July 24th), we resubmitted a revised invoice per the agreement (see Section 4, Paragraph B, Item iv) on August 3rd for $30,000, along with all supporting documents. Please know the invoice is still outstanding. Can you tell me when the invoice will be paid? Lastly, can you share the process for final payment of all outstanding invoices at project close? I ask in anticipation of completing your final nine item punch list this week. Thank you in advance for your assistance with these few remaining issues.
