STATIONS 30 AND 40 - CONSOLIDATED WESTERNSTEEL
pate,
SHEPPEMBER 1, 1953
We have today placed two letters of intent, one covering Station 30 and the
other covering Station 40 with Consolidated Western Steel.
In our letter to Consolidated covering Station 40, we say that we will
furnish them on or before September &, the remaining drawings necessary
for them to complete their shop details for the entire structure above
deck, at which time the drawings will be frozen,
In other words, no
further changes will be oermitted if it is expected that the material is
to reach Naval Supply Center on October 16.
In a similar letter we have advised them that additional details covering
Station 30 will be furnished on or before September ll, at which time the
same condition applies as applies to Station 40.
Therefore, all criteria not covered by the structural line drawings which
you have furnished us on Station 40 as of yesterday afternoon, and on
Station 30 as of this morning must be complete in each instance prior to
September & on Station 40 and September 11 on Station 30,
I cali to your attention that it is the desire of the Construction-Operations
Division to perform field work on Station 30 prior to Station 40, since
Station 30 will be required ahead of Station 40.
However, if engineering is
completed and frozen on the date enumerated above, we have assurance that both
structures will go forward on the October ship.
I have discussed the matter of steel required for the underpinning or
reinforcing of the two barges and have been assured that if the material
is available to Consolidated they will furnish it either in stock lengths
or cut to required lengths.
No other fabrication will be performed,
It
is, therefore, requested that you furnish us with a take-off of the steel
required for this purpose as soon as you possibly can.
Jt might be that
your requirements will be such that Consolidated may not have same in stock
and we may be forced to zo to other sources for tiis material.
Anything which you may do to expedite tne balance of the drawings on the two
stations in question will pe of material assistance in exnediting these two
jobs,
