Your crew's <br />performance was organized, timely and efficient on a very unique demolitionlimplosion <br />project in the local area. ' <br /> <br />The BG Group's ability to execute while under the watchful eye of the DEP and the detail- <br />oriented and observant City of West Palm Beach officials was an important part of the overall <br />project's success in gaining final approval of the projecfs discretionary permits. The <br />demolition by implosion of a 3o-story tower is a challenge in any instance, but particularly <br />when it is less than 100 feet from its neighbors to the north, south and west,and S Flagler <br />Drive and the inter-coastal waterway on the east ofthe site. Moreover, the efforts required to <br />satisfy the City's developing requirements for this first-time "implosion" were demanding. As <br />part of the Owner assembled project team, you provided essential data and attended the <br />many public hearings to present same. Your team undertook the process-from abatement <br />to interior stripping to actual implosion and final sitework- in a professional manner. <br /> <br />. We especially appreciated your willingness to attend numerous city commission meetings <br />and other meetings with city officials and the public to answer queStions and to prepare them <br />for the unusual and high profile events of an implosion. Your coordination efforts with FIre, <br />Police, Coast Guard, the neighboring associations and others were appreciated. We also <br />recognize your team on reaching out for the Owner's approval to distribute to local charities <br />as the BG Group salvaged the numerous, and sometimes "like new," appliances. that <br />remained in the building. Additionally, your other recycling efforts for the metal and concrete <br />demolition by-products were in keeping with good sustainable and green building concepts. <br /> <br />We would be happy to consider The BG Group again if the opportunity presents itself, and <br />welcome you to use us as a reference. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~. .../'7 <br />~."- /" ...J <br />~,./' ,;2;4- . ~J-:Z: \ <br />//K ,<,.,:.v <br />_,~."
