<br />o <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />."'.':".-.. <br /> <br />City of Cape Coral <br /> <br /> <br />To Whom It May Concern, <br /> <br />r- <br /> <br />I have been working for the City of Cape Coral for 15 years. I am one of the City's four <br />Project Managers and one of my more recent tasks was to oversee the clean up of our 440 <br />mile canal system. These canals were heavily littered with all types of foreign debris, <br />especially downed trees as II result of Hurricane Charley on August 13th of 2004. We <br />were able to secure 2.9 million dollars in funding from the U.S. Department of <br />Agriculture for this clean up effort and contracted with Tag Grinding for the largest <br />portion of this work. As oftoday, 3-2-05, we are about 95% complete with the project <br />and Tag Grinding crews have removed over 100,000 cubic yards ofborticultural debris <br />and 2500 tons of miscellaneous debris. <br /> <br />:- <br /> <br />This has been a fairly smooth project with very few problems. This in large part is due to <br />the excellent commWlication ai1d cooperation from Jerry BrookB of Tag Grinding. <br />Whenever any problems, scheduling conflicts or billing concerns came up. he was always <br />a phone call away and would immediately itddress any concerns before they became a <br />problem. We informed him early on of all of the USDA guidelines and requirements as <br />far as documentation and regulations and they made the process easy by the amount of <br />communication and cooperation provided. It seemed as we dealt with new hurdles along <br />the way, he was always willing to take on whatever additional task we would throw at <br />them. <br /> <br />Based on our expen(:nce with Tag Grinding. we would not hesitate to utilize their <br />services again or recommend them to other municipalities with the same needs. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or need any additional info you may contact me at; <br /> <br />:- <br /> <br />Mark Ridenour <br />Project MlIIJager <br />Public Works Department <br />City of Cape Coral <br />PO Box 150027 <br />Cape Coral, Florida 33915-0027 <br /> <br />Tel. 239-574-0724 <br />Fax 239-574-0732 <br />EmaiI.MridenoU@capecoral.net <br /> <br />Public Works Department _ Administration.
