Question

This assignment is to create a "Block Style Buisness Letter". This type of letter is typical of what you will use for much of the correspondence that you will create during the construction administration phase of projects that you will be managing You are to use the example format provided on the next page for your letter. You can assume that you are a project manager for a general contractor who has the construction contract for a new Health Center being constructed for the University of Nebraska Lincoln. You are in the procurement stage of the work and you are seeking approval to use a metal locker manufacturer that is not specifically noted in the specification. (Refer to the attached specification.) Your concern is that the locker you want to use is not exactly what is specified, but it is very close in quality and the cost and the delivery time is much more favorable. You are preparing the submittal information seeking aproval of this product proir to actually submitting your shop drawings. As part of your question/request, you are to provide a comparative analysis of your product to the one specified. As with most contract substitutions, you need this approval prior to submitting your shop drawings. Knowing that there is a cost benefit to the owner, you will also want to aknowlege this in your request. If this request is approved, you will then use this same paperwork as backup material for a future fromal Change Order Request You may want to discuss this with one of the CM Faculty or contact a local contractor and talk with them about this type of question in order to make your letter more realistic.

Ref: Specification change of the metal locker: regarding

Dear Mr. Jones

Ladies and Gentlemen

I am writing this letter to draw your attention regarding the substitution of the metal locker with another variety of locker which is going to be used at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln health center project.

As per the specifications provided in the drawings and the project proposal report the metal locker which is to be used at the project site needs to be procured from a supplier at Newport as the exact locker is not available in the city. I have conducted the study on the availability of any other metal locker which is easily available in the Lincoln city and identified two potential suppliers of the metal lockers. The lockers which are available in the local market is not exactly matching the specifications, but they are very close to the specified locker in the report. Apart from that, the lockers can be purchased at a lower cost than the specified locker. The comparative analysis of supply chain cost, quality and the price of the product is enclosed in this letter.

I need your consent in this matter to approve the new metal locker as soon as possible and which will help us to progress in the project and complete the work on the scheduled date.

Thank you for your kind consideration

Sincerely,

John P. Jones
