Consideration is being given to using the design of the MCL Dopply Bldg Type I, Steelox for construction at the Gap Filler Sites. As estimates and contract prices for this building are not available, may AMC/CE/CMU be requested to forward the costs of reconstructing the Doppler Bldg destroyed by fire at MCL Site 727. A compete breakdown is desired, including the building material and CE equipment, FOB point of delivery. Labor costs on site are desireable but transportation costs are not necessary.

Cost of erecting Doppler Building - Site 727

Attached is a copy of 2CMU final cost report dated 4 Jun 58 for the restoration of Site 727.

When 2CMU restored Site 727 it was necessary to erect two temporary accommodation buildings; one for sleeping and one for Work Shops and Stores. The cost of the material and CDL used is included in the funds expended for material and CDL.

The estimate for the material taken from stock may not be too accurate since purchase prices for the diesels, control panels, CO2 system, heating duct work, plumbing fixtures, the Youngstown kitchen and deep well pump were not known. All this equpment and fixtures were removed from Site 013 OVTL. The cost of the supply and erection of the towers is not included in this estimate since it was not necessary to erect towers at Site 727.

Our W-651 dated 23 may 58 recommended an advance release of funds in the amount of $115,000.00. We retained a small amount of funds for any last minute requirement.
