Box 378457 <br />Key Largo, FL 33037 <br />Main: 305 -453 -9497 <br />Fax: 305 -453 -9542 <br />I understand that Anzac Contractors is planning to bid on a Design -Build construction contract being <br />proposed by the City of Pompano Beach. I would like to take the opportunity to offer my <br />recommendation of Anzac Contractors as an excellent construction firm with significant experience with <br />the Design -Build process. <br />I am the CEI Project Administrator for the Florida Department of Transportation's US -1 (I8 -mile <br />stretch) project in Monroe and Miami -Dade counties. During this project I have had a daily interaction <br />with Anzac Contractors since April, 2008, who have been a pleasure to work with. In my position I am <br />responsible for the contact administration with oversight of a variety of construction firms. I can say that <br />in my 3 5 years of construction experience Anzac Contractors has proven to be one of the most <br />cooperative firms I have been associated with. They police themselves well and interact with my <br />inspection staff in a truly cooperative manner. <br />On this US -1 project, Anzac Contractors was responsible for constructing a 230 foot, Type III AASHTO <br />girder bridge supported by 18" and 24" PC/PS pile bents. In addition to this bridge crossing of US -1 <br />over the C -111 Canal, Anzac Contractors also built two, 40 foot span flat slab bridges which serve as <br />wildlife crossings on US -1. During this project, Anzac Contractors were responsible for all aspects of <br />these three bridges from the test pile program to grooving the finished bridge decks. All of the <br />equipment supplied to the project was in good shape, well maintained and always met or exceeded <br />industry standards or specification requirements. <br />At all times during this project, Anzac Contractors furnished a very professional staff of field and <br />support personnel. The key personnel in the firm were always easy to get in contact with 24 -7. When I <br />did need to contact anyone in the firm they were responsive to whatever the issue was. As I stated <br />previously, Anzac Contractors were always cooperative and their response time was consistently quick <br />and satisfactory. Any submittal from shop drawings on the deck shoring to the many material <br />certifications required by the Department of Transportation were always submitted in a timely manner <br />and in a completed manner. <br />If you are in a position to short list Anzac Contractors for any of your proposed work, be it Design -Build <br />or conventional Bid - Build, I recommend that you do yourself and the City of Pompano Beach a favor <br />and do so. If you give them a chance to provide you with a price and a guaranty to perform, I am sure <br />you will be very satisfied should they be awarded your contract. <br />If you have any questions or concerns regarding this subject please contact me at your convenience. <br />Over a Century of <br />Engineering Excellence <br />1 80 <br />1 <br />goo <br />rwa <br />i <br />H <br />E <br />H <br />i <br />i <br />n <br />E <br />i <br />i <br />i <br />F <br />December 27, 2010 <br />To whom it may concern: <br />Parsons US 1 Project <br />Brinkerhoff P.O.
