Question number one was have we done an investigation into why the current coded failed so quickly? Answer was yes. There are three possibilities of which it could be one or multiple. One, it's poor workmanship from the original contractor. Two, there was something wrong with the batch of the surfacing material that was used, or three, there are foundational concrete slab issues with the courts themselves. This is something that can't be confirmed until the existing service material is removed. Second question, do we know if the contractor followed the manufacturer's recommended installation instructions? If yes, do we have documentation? Through all of our ongoing communications, we have been trying to get a firm answer from the vendor on this issue as well. As we stand here today, we are we still have not received confirmation that the service was applied appropriately according to the recommended manufacturer instructions. What was the contractor's response to the failure? They stated that it is any of the following. Structural cracking within the concrete slab, aging acrylic surfacing systems, adhesion failure between the acrylic coding system and the underlying concrete slab. Movement of the underlying concrete slab, non-uniform slash inadequate surface drainage resulting in prolonged exposure to water.
