I attach the final comments from the Peer Engineer.
 
I have verbal sign-offs from the other reviewers and hope to have the written sign offs soon;  since the RTI issue is still outstanding I have drafted the approval letter but will hold until the documentation is in place. 
 
thank you
Jean

Jean,
 
The client is still moving ahead with the P&S of Parcel 3 but as of today I do not have an exact timeline on when this will be completed. I also discussed with the client whether they would be interested in the development of a set of plans that would preclude work on Parcel 3. They are confident that the p&s of parcel 3 will happen any day and do not wish to development a re-design or contingency plan at this time. Thank-you for checking in.

Maybe you could give me some idea regarding the resolution of the RTI;  I don't want to press reviewers if the approval letter is going to be delayed in any case.

thank you

Jean

The list of changes is the most important thing-  I can live without the disk and plan.

I will put it on the agenda and I am sure we can review most of it;  some reviewers may ask for some more time!!

Hi Jean,
 
The Eldredge comment response was ready to go late yesterday and then the power went out and is still out. I have had to scramble to find a location with power, internet so forth. 
 
I have attached the electronic copy of the comment response letter and plans. I will drop off a disc with electronic copies and a full size plan set this afternoon. I will also send along a list of changes to the plans from the last submission. I hope that Eldredge can still be reviewed at your meeting Wednesday. Please call my cell with any questions. 
 
Thank-you!
