It is apparent now that these elements are having an impact on the stack <br />exhausts ability to enter the intake of the new addition under certain circumstances or <br />conditions. Dave Obermiller's site inspection and opinion concurs with that of Grant's <br />Mechanical and that extending the stack should eliminate the problem that currently exists. <br />ONE has agreed to work with Grant's or any other contractor you would choose to use and <br />assist in the design and calculations relating to the extension of the generator stack. Foss <br />Architecture will provide assistance once again to coordinate the efforts on Cass County's <br />behalf if you so choose. <br /> <br />Due to my upcoming absence and in the essence of time, I ask that you contact Tom <br />Dewald, our construction administrator if you would like our help regarding these two items. <br />Tom has agreed to offer his available time within his schedule to acquire quick responses <br />from the Engineers and work through Cass County with the contractors who are capable of <br />making the necessary repairs. Tom will also assist in documenting the findings to evaluate <br />the failure and provide solutions for your comment and direction. <br /> <br />If you have further questions or comments I will respond as soon as possible prior to my <br />departure or upon my return. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br /> <br />Foss Architecture & Interiors <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br /> <br />Rick Hoganson~ <br />Principal <br /> <br />End. <br /> <br />.....~.... <br />
