The above record does not mention many phone calls made by us which were not answered. We feel the record speaks in our favor in our efforts to secure shipment of the filter media. We have spent many hours and many dollars trying to get MT to keep their promises. The finish date of this job is entirely at their whim, and apparently their whim is to direct their productive efforts in other parts of the world. The current productive rate by Texas Plastics will result in the final delivery about 22 weeks from this date, We therefore request a 19 week time extension tb the subject contract. We apologize for this poor performance. Perhaps this chronology will aid you in your evaluation of choice of media for your future requirements. Thank you for your consideration.
