100% Quality <br />April 24, 2018 <br />Scott Randle <br />INDOT Project Supervisor <br />American Structurepoint <br />Project: INDOT R-39514-A <br />/ JAh <br />100% Employee Owned <br />Lasalle Safe Routes to School <br />Intermediate Completion Time Extension Request <br />Dear Mr. Randle, <br />Over 100 Years <br />Rieth Riley is requesting an intermediate completion time extension to the INDOT R-39514-A, Lasalle <br />Safe Routes to School project. The time extension is due to utility delays by AEP and extra work added <br />along Bergan Street to the contract. <br />In the beginning of the project we encountered several AEP power poles which were to be removed and <br />or relocated before the project started. These power poles had not been and still have not been <br />relocated or moved as of today. These utilities delayed us approximately 3 days in the beginning during <br />our removal phase of the project. Also, during construction of the sidewalk and curb ramps for the <br />project, the power poles were in our way as we tried to complete our work. We were ordered to leave <br />out small pockets of concrete adjacent to the power poles so AEP could move them more easily. In the <br />last few weeks of the project it was determined that the poles would most likely not be relocated by the <br />intermediate completion date and the City decided we should go back to these areas without concrete <br />and rework them the best we could. This extra work caused us another 3 days of coordination and work <br />around, and the power poles are yet to be relocated to this day. <br />Lastly, there was some additional sidewalk work along Bergan Street requested to be performed. This <br />extra sidewalk work, which was requested towards the end of the project, caused for an additional day <br />of work. <br />For the reasons listed above, we are requesting an additional 7 days of time extension to the <br />intermediate completion date. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us. <br />Respectfully, <br />RIETH-RILEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC. <br />Ruben Alvarado, P.E. <br />Project Manager <br />P.O. Box 1775 • 25200 S.
