Dear Ms. Gilberti:
We write with reference to your letter dated June 11, 1998 received by this office on June 15, 1998.
We respectfully disagree with your contentions that DRES has failed to approve or disapprove the work cost as
delivered on May 28, 19998. One June 4, 1998, within 5 business days of receipt of an incompl ete Work Cost
submission, this office after reviewing the estimate responded in writing (copy attached). As indicated in the letter,
the “Work Cost” could not be approved due to various discrepancies, clarifications, and substantial omissions.
In response to our letter, your office and Ambassador Construction has been providing information and revised
costs under various cover letter dated June 11, 1998. Furthermore, as per the lease Art. 6(b) under the “Work Cost”
definitions (d), a cost for utilizing the fuel lines was only submitted on June 16, 1998.
Under the circumstances, we believe that this piecemeal submissions of the “Work Cost” estimate by your office has
a direct impact on the City’ ability to review and subsequently approve the “Work Cost”.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Ramos
Executive Director/DRES
