Subject Re: Proposal
My "worst case" estimate is $21,800. Broken out as follows:
Task#1 Field Prep $1,600
Field Sampling Plan
Site-Specific HASP
Sub-contractor and other coordination
Task#2 Sampling $8,000
Mobilize geologist to site.
Site sampling points and coordinate utilities/access.
Log borings and collect samples.
Catalog building chemicals,collect wipe samples
Return.
Field Coordination
Mileage
Hotel
Meals
Driller
Job Supplies
Laboratory Analyses $5,700
Soil- RCRA-8 12
Soil-VOCs 8
Soil-TPH 8
Soil - PAH 4
Water-VOCs 5
Water-TPH 4
Water- PAH 2
Wipe Samples- Metals 4
Task#3 Reporting $6,500
Prepare Report
CAD/GIS
QC Report
Prepare and Seal Report
Shipping/Binding/Supplies
AL $21,800
I dont expect it to actually be that much for two reasons:
1. When I put together a detailed proposal I can refine the hours; and
1
2. It is unlikely that all of the samples and analyses listed will be needed. If, for example, we
don't find field evidence of a tank, contamination from the tank, or residual from the
solvent spill, we won't need to run those analyses and collecting those samples will be much
faster.
I will get you a detailed proposal by next week.
