The total decrease in liability for the above tasks is $429,568.00. <br />24 Februazv 2004 Letter <br />The following comments are from BRL's 24 February 20041etter. The numbering <br />follows that of the letter. <br />Based on information in the Caterpillar Performance Handbook, the correct <br />piece of equipment for a short distance earth-moving task (275 feet) is a <br />dozer. The use of a truck and loader team would be less efficient and, in this <br />case, would require the construction of additional roads for the haul trucks and <br />would not be able to operate in the confined spaces required for this task. The <br />Division is leaving this task as a dozer task. <br />2. As discussed with Jim Stover on the phone, the Division believes that a fleet <br />of six dozers is acceptable. The money saved in mobilization costs would be <br />offset by increased job superintendent costs. <br />3. As per the phone conversation with Jim Stover, tasks 008 - 012 have been <br />adjusted to two dozers for dump support. The total decrease for these five <br />tasks was $9,531.00. <br />4. Task 012 has been adjusted to include two additional haul trucks (for a total of <br />six). As discussed, the Division believes that this is the absolute maximum <br />number of trucks possible on this site due to space constraints. <br />Additionally, the Division adjusted task 146, Mobilization/Demobilization, which <br />resulted in a decrease of $13,158.00. One issue we aze now running into is that costs for <br />equipment and operators have increased (and been adjusted in CIRCES) since the <br />reclamation cost estimate was first calculated in December 2002. Any additional changes <br />would require a total recalculation of the liability. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions regazding any of the above adjustments. <br />cc: Sandy Brown w/out attachments <br />
