071281 - Analysis - Need Technical Analysis
071282 -
071283 - Monti explained the need for a Technical Analysis.
071284 -
071285 - There was discussion of Monti meeting with Leonard and assisting with
071286 - the format of the Technical Analysis requirement.  She related the
071287 - importance of accomplishing this step.
071288 -
071289 - The material will be excavated and placed in a scow, hauled and
071290 - of -loaded, then processed to separate debris from contaminated and
071291 - non-contaminated material.  There may not be an opportunity to weigh
071292 - the material until and unless some of it is hauled to a land fill
071293 - location for final disposal.
071294 -
071295 - We need pay quantities for budgeting purposes, per discussion with the
071296 - COE team on 961017. ref SDS 10 NT5F
071297 -
071298 - It may be easier to pay the contractor by the CY for removal from the
071299 - project work area, which is the primary objective that correlates with
071300 - the contract pay quantities.  Once that is accomplished, then there
071301 - are several steps of disposal.  One is to separate contaminated
071302 - material from non-contaminated, assuming there is sufficient
071303 - non-contaminated material to make it worth the cost of processing as
071304 - opposed to the cost of disposal at the land fill site.
071305 -
071306 - So it seems a simple approach might be to pay by the Ton for disposal
071307 - of contaminated material that has to be hauled, and to pay by the CY
071308 - of material hauled Galbraith in the scow, since that is an ongoing
071309 - operation.
071310 -
071311 - Possibly further discussion with the Contractor is helpful to get a
071312 - good breakout on the task operations.
071313 -
071314 - Has Leonard determined if creosote material can be taken to Galbraith,
071315 - per planning in meeting with contractor on 961017? ref SDS 9 0W5M

0717 -
071701 - While meeting with Monti and I, Tom called Leonard.  In that call,

071705 -
071706 - Leonard advised of having submitted, via LAN, the Technical Analysis.
071707 - This was located and reviewed during the telecon.  Monti feels the

071712 - notes of the meetings with the Contractor on 961017, ref SDS 9 0001,
