WHEREAS, the regulation of noise is generally more stringent between the hours
of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.; and

Dear Mr. Rohloff:
Integrity Grading and Excavating, Inc. was the apparent low bidder
on the Impacted Soil Excavation project that was bid on 4/2/2013.
We would like to request approval of the variance to the time that
we can start construction operations. We are requesting to start at
6:00am in order for the trucks to be at the landfill when it opens at
7:00am to allow for optimum production for the City of Oshkosh.
IGE anticipates starting in May and it should take us approximately
two weeks.
We look forward to working with you on this project. Thank you for
your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Daniel Weinkauf
Project Manager
