Contractors must hire Emerson as a sub, through Matt Dannemueller. There might be an allowance for this.
Expected completion time is 550 days (about 1.5 years). However, contractors present feel that this is short.

Ring wall design.
Will they be responsible for spreading it? Yes.
Where will they be able to setup dewatering equipment? Currently unclear, but the city will be flexible.
What is the power rating? 480. Delivered to the same area as intended controls, at the NE northeast corner of lagoon 5.
Unit price for offsite disposal? Pending, intended. Reliant on how much we can dispose on site.
This project is expected to generate 40,000 pounds of sludge to dispose of. Annual disposal at City of Memphis is limited to 30,000 pounds of sludge.
Is there a negotiated unit price at the landfill?
Will this be considered hazardous? I.e., Will there be limitations on landfills accepting the mass. The South Shelby County landfill only accepted a certain amount. Tunica is likely to accept more, but it too costly to truck so far.
Because this is a heavy civil job, and it will require bulldozers, will BV and the City consider using highway rates versus building rates? Not typical.
