All:

I just wanted to keep you updated on the progress.

I have outlined the next few steps along the path.  I have placed text in bold and underlined below to bring these steps to your attention.

 

The 3 main things will be: 1) I need to receive the GP&S, 2) I will prepare and deliver the Homeowner Floodproof Package, and then 3) once we have the Government Estimate and the Contractors proposal, we can provide the offer to you and get the agreements signed.

 

Here are the next steps:

  • Site Visit by Flood Proof (FP) Team, Designer, & Cost Engineer
    • Feasibility Determination/FP Method Determination/Conversion Decision
  • Preparation of Guide Plans and Specs (GP&S) by EC (I have not received this, at this time and will reach out to the Engineer)
  • Homeowner Floodproof Package Prep (Upon receipt of GP&S)
    • FP Team Delivers to Homeowner with additional copies for Contractor
  • Request IGE (Government Estimate) from Cost Estimator & Await Proposal from Contractor
    • Compare IGE to Proposal
  • Official Offer made to Homeowner/Memo of Decision
  • Floodproofing Agreement Request sent to OC
    • OC drafts FPA and obtains homeowners signature
    • RE Chief accepts the FPA

Other steps continue, but let’s get to this point first…

 

I will be in the neighborhood tomorrow for additional site visits, if you would like to touch base.

Below is my new cell phone number.
