RE: Terracon
That's a good point... If they don't know what they're looking at, they may not want to take on the liability.
We can work with whatever lab you need to use.

I guess it's worth a shot.
I'm a little nervous that they aren't accustomed to satisfying the reporting
requirements for HUD though. These testing dollars aren't that big in the
overall project whereas the downside risk for us if Darling can't close is
deadly.
If JRJ has done some residential work, they'll know when our lab has to be
there to observe the fill placement.

I agree it would be nice to have one lab out there rather than two. Do
you want me to call Eric and talk through that point with him?

Just hung up with Terracon and they don't do residential.
I'll contact Alpha or Reed Engineering who I normally use.
It would have been nice to coordinate with just one group.

Greg,
We have no objection to you hiring Terracon to do the necessary
borings. I think it would work best for timing if they were able to
get
in there and work between now and October 15th. That way we know
there
will not be a conflict with JRJ's work schedule.
We have been working with Eric Cleavland over there, if you need a
contact.

Because of the way things are turning out for us with Darling Homes,
it
looks like we need to proceed with getting our geotech done.
At this time, we need to get our borings done and furnish the report
to
Darling. Going forward, we will have to prove to Darling that the fill
placement was observed by the geotech and complies with HUD 79g
requirements.
Is it a problem for you if we engage them and allow them to work?
Thanks,
