J. J. Dudash - 2 - January 29, 2004 <br />cost should be reduced to $1.57 per gallon which is the unit price BRL pays to dispose <br />of waste oil. <br />Task 146 -Mobilization/Demobilization -Reclamation <br />Please reconsider the release of a portion of the amount provided in the <br />mobilization/demobilization item since the major portion of the dirt moving is about 40% <br />complete. <br />Task 154 -Nuclear Density Testing of Backfilled Material <br />BRL utilizes Lambert & Associates for nuclear testing. For an ongoing project, Lamert <br />sends a technician to the site once per day. The technician costs $53.03 per hour. <br />Travel cost is about $94.80 per day. The technician travels to the site (1.5 hours) <br />performs nuclear tests (1.5 hours) and returns to Montrose (1.5 hours). Therefore, the <br />daily cost for Nuclear testing is $333.44. Based on an eight hour day the hourly cost is <br />$41.68. The DMG should reduce its bond estimate for density testing based on this <br />hourly cost. Additionally, task OOc provides the remaining hours for fill compaction <br />tasks. Applying 527.06 hours of compaction tasks (65.9 days) against the daily cost of <br />$333.44 results in a remaining cost of $21,974.00. <br />Task 155 -Water Truck for Compaction Backfill <br />This task has the hourly rate of a water truck applied against 941.23 hours. The hours <br />of water truck time should be reduced to the remaining hours in task OOc, 527.06 hours. <br />Task 156 -Cost for Comaactor Idle Time <br />This task assumes 941.23 hours of backfilling time. This task should be reduced based <br />on the remaining backfilling time of 527.06 hours. <br />Task 157 -Cost for Cat 769 Truck Idle Time <br />About half of this task is represented by idle time for Task 046 -Haul OVW M Road <br />Buttress to Fill Placement. If Task 046 is deleted from the bond estimate as <br />recommended above, 25.14 hours of idle time can be removed from the cost estimate. <br />Indirect Costs -Job Superintendent <br />The hourly rate for the Job Superintendent is applied against one half of the total task <br />hours for the entire reclamation project. There are at least two areas where the total <br />task hours have been reduced due to reclamation work accomplished. The hours <br />shown for task OOa could be reduced by about 523 hours since task 17 is basically <br />complete. The hours shown for task OOL could be reduced in half since the structural <br />demolition tasks are about 50% complete. These two reductions would reduce the <br />hours applied to the job superintendent by about 500 hours. This reduction still leaves <br />about a year of time charged for the job superintendent. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Sinc~ ly,~ <br />.0. E.
