Some stretches of streets within the project have been cleaned by our landscape <br />contractors and the individual builders. The entire project will be swept over this weekend after individual <br />builders have cleaned their areas with bobcats. <br /> <br />There is no excuse for the streets not being kept clean in the project and you have my assurance that we will <br />do a better job of staying on top of the situation. Our agreement with our builders called for them to take <br />over responsibility for maintaining the streets after they were paved. Our subcontractors are responsible for <br />cleaning up after themselves and we have experienced some finger pointing as we have worked to sort out <br />responsibility for various areas of dirty streets. <br /> <br />Several activities (in addition to the builder's activities) have contributed to the dirty streets. These include <br />NSP's installation of the street lights, Houle's construction of the sidewalks and the grading and sodding <br />and seeding ofthe boulevards and the installation of streettrees and entrance plantings. For more than three <br />weeks we have been getting reassurance that Houle would be completing the seeding and mulching that they <br />are required to complete and would clean all of Ow as so Hills Drive when they finished. They have still not <br />completed all of their work so we are just going to go ahead and clean the streets anyway. <br /> <br />In the very near future we will be in a position where our subcontractors will be finished and the builders <br />will assume full responsibility for keeping the streets clean. We have made arrangements with a street <br />cleaning service and if our builders fail to keep the streets clean, we will simply have them cleaned and bill <br />the builders. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />DAHLGREN, SHARDLOW, AND UBAN, INC. <br /> <br /> <br />cc: John Thein <br />
