Subject:  Cost Savings Communication Metrics
                 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Report Oct 7, 1997

Dear Mark,
Per our discussion today, here is a report prepared by the San Francisco District Corps of Engineers showing cost savings on Construction Management and overall project cost from using Communication Metrics. The report was requested by USACE HQ in Washington, D.C., to evaluate Corps-wide use of Communication Metrics, which was recommended in an earlier report on Mar 28, 1997. Steve Rule reviewed the March report on Communication Metrics. He requested a calculation of cost effectiveness to enhance Turner's competitive position. The government's assessment may satisfy Steve's objective, and, also, support your review of Communication Metrics for use on the PeopleSoft project. To facilitate consideration, a copy is provided for Dick Dorais, as well.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY



Rod Welch
