Doug

This is the kind of communication that has made our work even more challenging

This was JUST received from SPS, and is different from all the communication preceding this, indicative of our beginning Phase 2

of our work in August

Give OSPI Approval of the RCCAP and the need to EXECUTE the Plan approved, I am VERY concerned about this communique

and the implication that things will be delayed until Sept, and there could be an interruption in our work with SPS

I have asked that they amend our current Contract and add 1/11th of the $450k we have agreed to for Phase 2, and see what

response I get from them

But I wanted to make you aware of my grave concern which has arisen after reading what I just received

Sorry to trouble you with this, but given your intense interest in SPS, and your commitment to Targeted Monitoring of the RC

CAP, a delay until September (possibly longer) would not be helpful to the Execution of the RCCAP you have approved

Look forward to your advice

Let me know if we should chat by phone about this

Bob,

Thank you for the outline of the contract.

I fully understand the enthusiasm to begin the contract as soon as possible however, I need to inform you that we will not have

access to the funds until September 1st. Since the Seattle Public Schools fiscal years begin in September, the Accounting Office

will not be able to approve this contract until our FY201415 funds are accessible, probably late August.

Another contributing factor to the anticipated delay is the contract amount is $450,000 we will need to have SPS Board approval

prior to us being able to execute the contract. Thus meaning we will need to have it presented to the C&I cabinet first, then

presented to the Board in August and approval on September 3rd.

Seeing as though the original contract runs through August 31, 2014 and we have only executed 2/3rds of the contract would it

be possible to estimate the cost of the August time and possibly add that amount, if it is not too much, to the current contract

and then subtract that amount from the initial amount of $450,000. If we go with this suggestion, we would not have to

withhold services, and just continue work as normal without delay.

Let me know what you think.
