EFTA_R1_01655449 EFTA02519328 It was a pleasure speaking with you yesterday =fternoon. Glad to hear you are back in LSJ. Here is an update on the following items along with =ommentaries. PALM TREES: • Confirmation=on inventory of 17' Clear Bare Trunk Coconut Palm trees was delayed due =o the fact that our colleague Mr. Clemente Perez who owns the Palm =rees 40 acres nursery and who also is the person Pedro and I are =ecommending for the Landscaping Design and maintenance program, =uffered a severe event of the Flu as well as due to the constant heavy =ains we have been facing in Puerto Rico for the past few =eeks. * Today I spoke with Mr. =erez and he will provide us with the Coconut Palm tree inventory =or us within the next 48 hours (Commencing Tomorrow) for he wishes to =resent us with an accurate inventory on the palm tree sizes for your =valuation. Meaning that our team will be able to present you with palm = pricing structure by latest Friday afternoon. HEAVY EQUIPMENT REQUEST: • Pedro is working directly with the Caterpillar =istributor in Puerto Pico to obtain pricing info on the equipment and =e has been facing delays in obtaining estimate. • As far as my efforts are concerned regarding =he equipment, I also have been experiencing delays in obtaining =stimates from my first suppliers options. I raised some hell with them =oday and I should have their response by tomorrow. • Currently I am working with other heavy equipment suppliers =span style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: =6px;" class="">in Puerto Rico, the US and Tortola that =epresent Caterpillar as well as with other distributors from JLG, Bob Cat & John Deer to name a =ew in order to present as options for evaluation. By =omorrow afternoon I will be able to have info in order to present to =ur team members for evaluation. CEMENT, AGGREGATES & MOBILE BATCHING PLANT =OGISTICS: • Cement, =ggregates, Cement Additives as well as Barge Loading Operations =ogistics in Puerto Rico are in place and ready to go. All I require is =or you to provide us with the depth survey at both pre identified =ocations in GSJ. For the =ast weeks I have been searching for Concrete mobile units in PR and US =s well. • I have =arrowed search and identified 2 Mobile batching Plants in PR which I =ill inspect in the following day. From my preliminary evaluation, =hey look in good shape. PALM TREES & HEAVY EQUIPMENT SHIPPING =OGISTICS. Brice, we would like =our feedback on the following subjects: * My current short term shipping logistics plans =all for shipping goods from Puerto Rico to St.Thomas and for your team =ave goods picked up with your supply vessel to deliver to LSJ & =SJ 2 EFTA_R1_01655450 EFTA02519329 • My long term logistics plans =all for delivering goods via Tug & Barge directly to Greater St =ames were we can set up a "Staging Operations Area" at either landing =ocations optioned you suggested (Sand, stone, cement, Palm Trees, Heavy =quipment, etc.) and then having goods picked up with your supply vessel =n GSJ and transporting them Little St James. • Shipping Logistics for 40' Flat Racks from Puerto Rico to St. =homas for palm Trees and construction materials and equipments are =onfirmed and in place as we speak as well. • Once you approve heavy equipment =urchase, we'll provide you with the landed prices into St. =homas. Brice, I need for you to kindly provide mw with the following =nfo ASAP: Your shipping agent in St. =homas contact information. • Please remember that I urgently require Depth =hart Survey at either discharging options in Grater St. James in order =o determine width maneuvering area, 100' out to sea from shore =ine. ` Your =on water content in order to finalise concrete mix =esigns. There are various =pecies of Ficus. Please clarify which species you wish for us to =uote. • Attached please find some =hotos of the 3 gal. Bougainvilleas pots. They do not look "Too Hot" right know, it's just that they have been taking a pounding by the =onstant rains we have been facing for the past weeks. Having said this, =ith a week or two of sunshine, they will regain their strenght and =osture. By the way, the 200 Bougainvilleas are currently in =tock. Very important! It is imperative that I =long with Tug & Barge owner fly over to GS1 with barge owner for a =ersonal inspection of both pre identified discharging locations soon as =ossible in order to weed out any current unpredicted variables. please =dvise as to what dates are good for us to fly over with Barge =wner. It =ould also be a good opportunity to fly Clemente along with us so that =e may personally inspect the grounds and have a better idea as to =andscaping area needs and for him to evaluate any plague control work =hat may need to be implemented. Please advise ASAP as to when it's more =onvenient for you for us to visit ISJ. Looking forward to your prompt reply, =e cordially remain. Comments, suggestions and criticisms are and always be =elcomed!! Regards; Armando Vilanova President & CEO Caribbean Contractors =upplies, Inc.
