RE: OLD DUNKLIN COUNTY JAIL BUILDING
DEAR SIR:

RELATIVE TO THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT, WE HAVE HAD
NUMBEROUS DISCUSSIONS INVESIGATING THE CONDITION AND
STRUCTURAL STATUS OF THE BUILDING.

WE HAVE FOUND SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE EXISTING PLUMBING, THE
ABSENCE OF WINDOWS AND SEVERAL ITEMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM
THE RESTROOMS AND KITCHEN AREA.

WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO VERIFY THE STATUS OF NEITHER THE
ELECTRICAL SERVICE NOR THE CONDITION OF THE HEATING AND AIR
UNITS.

IT IS OUR CONSIDERED OPINION THAT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN
RENOVATION COST WILL BE INVOLVED AND AT THIS TIME DO NOT
ANTICIPATE THE FACILITY COULD BE READY FOR ANY OCCUPANCY FOR
SEVERAL MONTHS.

WE ARE OF THE OPINION THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PREPARE ANY
PLANS WITHOUT KNOWING IF PROCEEDIN SHOULD BE CONTINUED.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTE,

SKELTON ASSOCIATES
