Subject: RE: Notice to Proceed and Preliminary Specifications

Dear Mr. Flumerfelt,

In regards to your email of February 6, 2012, CCA has not given to the


Authority a “Development Schedule” and has not received from CCA a “Notice
to Proceed.” Under paragraph 1.6.2, except for some due diligence provided
for in the agreement, the Parties have no obligation to proceed with design,
permitting, installation or construction of the Project, prior to receiving
a NTP from CCA. CCA has absolute discretion in issuing or withholding the
NTP. After the issuance of the NTP the parties shall proceed with the
development of the project in accordance with the Development Schedule.

Sincerely,

Andrea Schruijer

Subject: Notice to Proceed and Preliminary Specifications

Dear Andrea, I didn’t notice that either the Notice to Proceed from CCA
to the VLCIA or the “preliminary specifications,” both required by the
contract with CCA were in the documents given to me in response to my
recent open records request. The site survey was received on Nov. 19,
2010, which means that, according to the contract, the Preliminary
Specifications for the project should have been received at the VLCIA
over 6 months ago. It seems from the contract that either the
Preliminary Specifications or a Notice to Proceed should have been
received by now if the contract is still in force. Can you clarify this
for me please? Thanks. Matt Flumerfelt

This is a very interesting response from Andrea Schruijer, because without the
Notice to Proceed (NTP) the private prison project does not move forward.
