This should be the final <br />billing unless we are able to locate the remaining well and then there would be some added costs but we can just tell them <br />nqt do test the well if located if you are running out of funds. <br />----Original Message----- <br />From: MECREDY Russ <br />Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 8:49 AM <br />To: SOLIN Chuck R <br />iCc: LARSEN Tom C <br />Subject: Bergeson-Boese invoice <br />received in the pony from you the second Bergeson-Boese invoice dated 8/31 /01, which is in the amount of <br />$8,861.65. Previous to this I approved their invoice in the amount of $987.05. This brings their requests for payment <br />so far to $9848.70, which is $1,308.70, or 15% more than their estimate of $8,540. Is this their final invoice? <br />'Either way, I find this to be an unreasonable extra cost and I am asking you to negotiate an amount within 5% o their <br />original estimate and to send a corrected invoice. As it turns out this project will have an extremely tight budget and we <br />,,can't afford to allow increases if not absolutely needed <br />Thanks <br />Russ <br />~~fi <br />~- t'.'- <br />,~ ~_~ <br />.. :) ~ <br />~., `t~ <br />/~1 IN~R t <br />
