As you now this project has some time constrains attached to it that we feel may need extended hours to complete, therefore 1 would like to ask for a couple differing working hour estensions. o The first addresses the reconditioning of the rail road bridges that cross CSAH 69. Rahr Malting has hired Edward Kreamer and Sons to complete the upper portion of the bridge which Rahr actually owns. And at the same time they are doing that we will have a subcontractor doing the reconditioning of the steel structure itself. Needless to say this will take a lot of time for both contractors and will need to happen within the constraints of the road closure which is scheduled to happen from the 20` of Apr to the 2" of May. Attached you will find a letter from our subcontractor spelling out the specifics of their schedule, but I would request that we have the ability to run 24 hours a day during the road closure, so if the weather comes into play we still have the ability to continue working around the clock. o The second request is that we would have the ability to start work at 7:OOam on the Saturdays that fall outside the road closure. I would appreciate it if you could present this to council and that they would indicate which if not all the above items are acceptable to them.
