Dear Robert , The deadline to get a permit for your EBB retrofit is a little over a month away. You now have forty (40) days to upload your permit, retrofit plans and pre-retrofit photos to your EBB Homeowner Dashboard https://u2002126.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=rThnDxEf-2B5nBSTUQDBDOjQ0hFBA9CjUmTSTh1EYXezUf60QJIY5WozM7nbK4tYfUPGzoDcG-2BVOAtJrExtiY8Ig-3D-3DsItd_KWg3QX2t9dBAgSfjCKLYmJIqfyw3NsVbEqFlOwd-2Fmu1N9t-2BF4GP6TfifoQ-2F6nnubM3-2BmPP-2FpKNbDNpLTuZgwmDbVbY1WNuNs-2FgZr4jwdgMY-2Bsda-2FNmQSTusjTMw30eu75Qa47-2Flptwzi1KuN9sJxK6YNj2fnTuM57dVRlLoGEz8n9-2Bbvg3QkXsRJiNaa80TTl4rVNeabaLxRyMZbZvs-2B9g-3D-3D to continue in the program. If you cannot meet that deadline, please call us for an extension two weeks before you reach that deadline . Please note that we will not grant an extension any earlier than two weeks prior to your deadline. If you are still looking for a contractor to do your code-compliant retrofit, here are some helpful tips: * Go to the EBB Contractor Directory https://u2002126.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=rThnDxEf-2B5nBSTUQDBDOjQ0hFBA9CjUmTSTh1EYXezVmzwXLb8ivqPhGDxD3ehBD7yX9iFVyO3L2I40HVwwriQ-3D-3Dvo9S_KWg3QX2t9dBAgSfjCKLYmJIqfyw3NsVbEqFlOwd-2Fmu1N9t-2BF4GP6TfifoQ-2F6nnubk1TB24MR6I6S5L6VGPlggUoytgdfcmHV34oISmuOU8YuNdpQ9E-2BeXabJCxbE0FWra24GdiS-2BLMjl8p6cNOqbUfI2BwxHSkBSRwKTegsyR4oWWmHiz3ErrYpEHjw1Aaj8SeaOYHTpHv4uLfcp5wa5XQ-3D-3D to find a licensed contractor near you who is FEMA trained to do seismic retrofits. * You can reach out directly to multiple contractors, randomly selected from the Directory, to request bids right from your Homeowner Dashboard. * Get multiple bids to keep your cost down. When homeowners get two or more bids, the final cost is often significantly lower. * Be persistent; if you don’t hear back from one contractor, call another one. * The retrofit work required by the building code is done in the crawl space and only to the continuous perimeter of the foundation . Check your quote to ensure only this work is included in your bid. If you’re not sure, see the photos and descriptions on the EBB website. https://u2002126.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=rThnDxEf-2B5nBSTUQDBDOjQ0hFBA9CjUmTSTh1EYXezVmzwXLb8ivqPhGDxD3ehBDNZC0q9MyPIC-2F7S8cX3XbIA-3D-3DIEjI_KWg3QX2t9dBAgSfjCKLYmJIqfyw3NsVbEqFlOwd-2Fmu1N9t-2BF4GP6TfifoQ-2F6nnubi6wOQBEwRZGEFA3UDfZIOvPEqfn9WXhZB6vy6foWD-2FX5y0NeLB0VafXsRI7HX55FRhyAWyw-2FbONTU6-2FaU8QbBteoB05oiEK8UGddWCIJoQ3YkuHL7wbUe3NyHxadRzFTGDZP2lMGWRaVfxG-2Bpp-2FvDg-3D-3D We hope these tips will help you move your retrofit project forward.
