Jeff, first I would be happy to go over and get all the things that you want done, it's not a big deal and I think I
can do it in a very efficient manner. You have some good people over there that need some direction. But I need
to ask some questions first;
• What is the scope of the work you want completed now. They are talking about roads, walls, permanent
engineering facilities, etc.
• I need access to all staffing guides that have been prepared.
• Are there any budgetary guidelines in place.
• Who is going to stay on the Island when the project is completed ( will it be Brice and his wife).
• Do we have contracts for your HVAC and mechanical plants?
You may not know all these answers, but as long as everyone knows that is what I need to know when I go down
there I will be fine. I was introduced to you by an friend and representative of Tom Pritzger, of which both I have
the highest esteem for, but you must understand I am presently gainfully employed and at the present had no
intention of leaving my present position, unless something drastically changed the direction that I am going in.
With that being said I will make arrangements with Cecile to go to the Island next Friday and Saturday and sort
through everything. I will probably bring two professionals (landscaping and engineering with me) to look at the
project while I work with your team to get you the answers you are looking for. The professionals will be free
because everyone in Puerto Rico is looking for work and all I am looking to get from them is an appraisal of
what needs to be done to get this job done and run efficiently going forward.
For me to make it simple I would charge $225 an hour (that's what I pay my accountant) plus a plan ticket from
San Juan to Saint Thomas, and if you could put me up at the house it would be great. Also my son is a Junior at
Brandeis University studying international finance and if you would consider him interning a couple of weeks at
Christmas with your group that would be appreciated.
If this all works for you I will call Cecile this afternoon and make the appropriate arrangements. Also keep in
mind I am not a builder, but I have opened numerous hotel properties in the Isalnds and know whom to reach out
to for help.
Warm regards,
Rich
