It has nothing to do with any of you...it's all me. Since my employee left the company in December, I have been in a constant back-up with TCP requests. I currently have requests for 35+ sheets (this number does not include City of Kent requested sheets). I have been working 12 hours a days/7 days a week basically since Jan 1...even taking my laptop with me on vacation to keep up. Again, I am not pointing any fingers at City of Kent. The stress has put a strain on me mentally as well as physically and I need to change my approach with my customer base. City of Kent is not the only one I am having this conversation with. I am not 'replacing" City of Kent with someone else....... I have had to notify the majority of my customers of the same thing and will not be taking on any additional customers for the foreseeable future. I can revise any sheets that I have already prepared. I will not be able to start any new projects...most notably Drew (21-3003 Road Diet project) & Thomas (2023 Reith Road Roundabouts). This decision does not come easily. I have gone back & forth with this but in the end, I must go in this direction. I have enjoyed working with all of you. I know this will put you in a bind and I sincerely apologize. I wish you all well in the future.
