EE:] IIITrident Project Advantage Group 155 N BROADWAY PO BOX 68 SALEM, NEW HAMPSHIRE 03079 Telephone (603) 898-6110 Facsimile (603) 890-1070 December 8, 2010 Ms. Ivy Fradin The BG Group LLC 1140 Holland Drive #19 Boca Raton, FL 33487 RE: 1515 South Flagler Drive W Palm Beach, Florida Dear Ivy: This letter is in recognition of you and the entire BG Group project team on the abatement and demolition engagement at The Modern, 1515 South Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach, Florida wherein Trident was the Owner's Project Management firm. Your crew's performance was organized, timely and efficient on a very unique demolition/implosion project in the local area. The BG Group's ability to execute while under the watchful eye of the DEP and the detail- oriented and observant City of West Palm Beach officials was an important part of the overall project's success in gaining final approval of the project's discretionary permits. The demDlition by implosion of a 30-story tower is a challenge in any instance, but particularly when it is less than 100 feet from its neighbors to the north, sDuth and west, and S Flagler Drive and the inter-coastal waterway on the east of the site. Moreover, the efforts required to satisfy the City's developing requirements for this first-time "implosion" were demanding. As part of the Owner assembled project team, you provided essential data and attended the many public hearings to present same. Your team undertook the process-from abatement to interior stripping to actual implosion and final sitework- in a professional manner. We especially appreciated your willingness to attend numerous city commission meetings and other meetings with city officials and the public to answer questions and to prepare them for the unusual and high profile events of an implosion. Your coordination efforts with Fire, Police, Coast Guard, the neighboring associations and others were appreciated. We also recognize your team on reaching out for the Owner's approval to distribute to local charities as the BG Group salvaged the numerous, and sometimes "like new," appliances that remained in the building. Additionally, your other recycling efforts for the metal and concrete demolition by-products were in keeping with good sustainable and green building concepts. We would be happy to cDnsider The BG Group again if the opportunity presents itself, and welcome you to use us as a reference.
