Third Party Sampling
Dear Dr. Posey:
As per our recent conversation, I am providing you an >lipdate and
BMRI's latest estimate as to the timing and cost status with
RCG/Hagler Bailly, Inc. (RCG) for the completion of the t ird party
sampling at San Luis. As was stated in our August 2, 19 3 letter,
the contract is nearing its conclusion date of October 19, 1993 and
will overrun the revised budget of $25,488 if allowed t continue
past our proposed resolution.
we have reviewed RCG billing through August 31, 1993 and find BMRI I
has been invoiced for $18,461.74. This cost represents 720 of the
total revised budget of $25,488. However, this cost ref ects only
52$ of the total work completed as of this date (4 of 7 scheduled J
visits completed and 3 of 7 reports received and bille ). It is
absolutely certain RCG will exceed the revised budg t if the
program is allowed to be fully executed. BMRI estimate that the
ultimate cost will exceed $36,000. This overrun would e 132 of
the nri Ri P.al budget prod used by Dr. M~est. and c,+ol31c? an ~~P rr>>n of
41$ of the revised budget agreed to by all parties.
BMRI's position is obvious in light of the fact that clearly no
substantial issues or anomalous sample results have) occurred
throughout this entire third party sampling period. a believe
that this situation cannot be allowed to continue. Ac ordingly,
we have offered what we believe is a reasonable compromis position
in that the third party sampling contract be allowed t continue
for one final sampling period (tentatively October 14- 5, 1993),
the completion of reports through this final sampling e fort, and
the completion of a final summary report. The projected ost to do
this work cuupled with remaining outstanding invoices wil by BMRI
projections, slightly exceed the revised budget.
Gauging all facets this program was intended to addrless, this
