Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Project No. 118-043R Venues, Parks and Arts Restroom Remodeling Contract Time Extension <br />Due to design Issues at Veterans Memorial Park <br />Greg, <br />As you are aware, plumbing issues were encountered during the demolition of the block wall <br />at Veteran's Park August 27th. The original design called for wall hung toilets with flush values that which would <br />not work at this location. It was determined that these toilets needed to be changed to floor mount units. <br />In addition, the shut off valve in the pit was broken and could not be completely turned off. The plumbing work at <br />this location was put on hold for several weeks until a decision was reached on how to proceed. <br />Parts for the new water valve are on order, along with the parts needed to make toilet and flush valve changes. <br />We anticipate these parts arriving sometime next week. <br />The plumbers have been at a standstill since 8/28/19 and were able to start on some work 9/18/19 while <br />still waiting for parts for the pit shut off valve. As a result of these delays we are requesting a contract time <br />extension until 10/11/19. This will allow us the time needed to procure the parted needed and complete the <br />work. <br />On 9/18/19 it was discovered that the men's restroom has no floor drain which is required by code. If a new drain <br />is required to be installed, additional time will be needed. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. <br />Mark Livinghouse <br />Project Manager <br />Michiana Contracting <br />MICHIANA CONTRACTING, INC.
