As you know we have been trying to get these wells destroyed for quite some time now. We got approval from the fund and the clients once again after we found out the city was requiring a much bigger and costlier scope of work including repaving, etc. Once we had our new budget approved we began working on encroachment permits from the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County. Due the location of the wells on Plymouth,we have to divert northbound traffic quite a ways to the next controlled intersection. Because of the large area of traffic control we entered the County right-of-way. I submitted the encroachment permit application to the City on October 8, 2009 which should have given them ample time to get the permit issued since the work is schedule for the week of November 9, 2009. 1 have been in contact with Reid Campbell several times since then to check on the progress of the permit. He finally informed me on Oct. 28 that the permit application had gotten misplaced because the traffic engineer for the city went on vacation. He was able to get me edits to our traffic control plan that same day. Stantec made the edits and re- submitted the permit on the same day. We are now in limbo waiting on the approved encroachment permit. In order to get a County encroachment permit approved I was told by Scott Cooper that I would need the approved City encroachment permit and that he would be able to turn the county permit around within a couple of hours. I've been in contact with him since I submitted the county permit application October 9, 2009. When I called the county public works office today I was informed that Scott is out with a sick child and that the other person handling permits would have to start from scratch. He basically could not tell me if I would be able to get a county permit approved this week or not. To make matters worse, the City is coming up on the holiday season in which they impose moratoriums on work in the city right-of-way. We have a very small window of opportunity to get this work done. If we can't do it in the next couple of weeks we are going to have to push it again which will take a lot of time and effort and money. If there's any way you can help us expedite the county permit it would be much appreciated. I will be coming to Stockton on Wednesday and hope to pick up the City encroachment permit and deliver it in person to the county. If Scott Cooper is in, I shouldn't have a problem. If he is not, I don't know that we'll be able to start work on the 9th as planned. Re-scheduling all of the subcontractors will be a nightmare. Thanks for your time, and hopefully we'll get these wells destroyed!
