That being a tailgate meeting with the Hypower Site Supervisor at each bore (or any task within the project) prior to commencement of any work with a full understanding of the parameters of that specific task. IE; RWO/Easement Restrictions. Running Line, MOT, Work area access etc. Any issues revealed at that meeting requiring clarification are to be requested from you. To date the Site Supervisor has been reporting directly to you with these issues. However for the purpose of clarity and understanding, moving forward I may require these issues to be submitted to me and then forwarded to you so I can participate and help simplify the process where-ever possible. It appears to me that as the project has progressed complacency to these issues may have set in, that will not be tolerated. All have been notified of my concern and a crew and supervisors meeting has been called on Monday to address all issues with respect to expectations of conduct, safety, property, and work specific issues. All of this being said, I need to re-iterate that we are in the process of installing a large amount of conduits in a limited area and issues with landscaping will occur. This is a construction project with large equipment space requirements. At the Seacrest Property, given that we are installing the feeder, switch chamber, and directing feeder as well as multiple primary conduits into a small space I would expect to have had landscaping issues there in the buffer in any case. And will probably have more when crews arrive tie it all in. HOWEVER, the fact remains that these issues are to be approved and discussed with you for approval PRIOR to any work being done. This has not been happening and will not be tolerated any further. As far as notification to residents, barring this incident, I believe we have been doing that all along. It may be that since this was perceived as work outside the property this address was not notified. We do notify residents when their property is directly affected but not with respect to road/ROW work.

Questions in meetings about the work result in responses such as “I have to ask the crew what they did.” Discussions in the field as to what needs to be done do not seem to be getting communicated to the crews. Work in the field is going badly as crews do not understand what has to be done, and there is inadequate oversight to ensure they do not do the wrong things. The contract calls for the following: Respect for Residents and Their Property: Bidder shall notify and obtain permission from the residents 24 hours in advance when planning to work within the resident's property. In addition, bidder shall notify the resident prior to entering their property to perform work or inspect/ investigate the work site. Bidder shall not block residents driveways unnecessarily. Bidder shall not park equipment on landscaped areas when the vehicle is not needed for the current construction activities. Bidder shall be responsible for repair and/or replacement of all damaged landscaping within 48 hours including repairing vehicle wheel impressions, irrigation systems, lighting systems, structures, or any other items of resident's property. Bidder shall not destroy, damage, remove, or otherwise negatively impact any landscaping within or outside the right-of-way without prior approval from the Engineer. I need to know what your plan is to get this project under control. At this point, I don’t see any management of the crews happening. And I do see a lot of property damage. Danny P. Brannon, P.E.
