and scientific structures and camp facilities. Camp
facilities are not to be reconstructed, but portions which

are not too severely damaged should have sufficient work
performed thereon to prevent further deterioration in order
that they may be used for future tests. All scientific
structures which are not destroyed or damaged beyond further
usefulness are to have appropriate protective maintenance,
It is anticipated that military structures will be removed

and disposed of as a security measure, and a separate cost
estimate should be made for such structures so that NME
funds may be requested to cover the cost.

(h) All cleanup, salvage, and maintenance work on test islands
will be done with the assistance of radiclogical monttors
to be provided by this office.

(i) All buildings and other structures will be maintained by
painting or other preventive measures to avoid more than

normal deterioration.

(j) The roll-up and maintenance period contemplated herein
extends to December 31, 1951.

"The basic criteria presented herein will not, in all cases, apply
if additional tests should be scheduled; however, you are requested
to prepare your estimates on the assumption that such tests will
not be scheduled. In preparing your estimates, items will undoubtedly come to your attention which have not been specifically

discussed herein; in such cases please call on us for advice.

"We wish to reiterate our requirements in these matters for absolute
economy in operations consistent with satisfactory maintenance of

proving ground facilities for future use."

On the basis of this directive and a series of discussions on the
subject, estimates were submitted for Job 4 and Job 5, totaling
$4,537,720 and $1,463,490, respectively. These estimates were considered high at the time however inthe light of the criteria ultimately
developed for. these phages of the work (which differed radically from

those given above), the final estimates for Jobs 4 and 5 were much
greater than the amounts given above.

These final estimates were

$6,894,685 for Job 4, and $3,172,900 for Job 5.
