HaJI, Mandy FYI Hi Jeff, It's going in the paint booth this afternoon and, if sufficiently dry, will ship tomorrow. Did you and Zach have a chance to discuss the turnbuckles yet? Is he taking care of that for you? I’ll keep you informed as much as possible. Let me know if you think of anything else. 1 From: jeffelks@hotmail.com To: dlcrowder@hotmail.com Subject: FW: Town of Weldon, NC WTP // Siemens (Envirex) 10328 Primary Clarifier, F15LT Gearbox DOWN Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:23:31 -0400 From: kbaker@heyward.net To: jeffelks@hotmail.com CC: tmencome@heyward.net; khall@heyward.net Subject: RE: Town of Weldon, NC WTP // Siemens (Envirex) 10328 Primary Clarifier, F15LT Gearbox DOWN Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:32:54 +0000 From: Sent: To: Subject: I just got an e-mail from Siemens indicating that the torque tube did not ship last Friday as was anticipated. Once again I have to apologize for the delay. I hope it is safe for me to assume that by now you have all of the other items on this order. From: Kathryn Baker Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2012 6:53 PM To: 'Jeff Elks' Cc: Tony Mencome; Keith Hall Subject: Town of Weldon, NC WTP // Siemens (Envirex) 10328 Primary Clarifier, F15LT Gearbox DOWN Jeff - I’m told the torque tube will ship on 3/9/12. I spoke to Zach earlier today and he confirmed that he thinks he can get those turnbuckles quickly and not from Siemens. So, I’m waiting to hear back from Siemens with their estimate of lead time. If you get confirmation from Zach that he can get them in two weeks or less before we hear from Siemens I would go with whatever he can get... .as long as it works from a technical standpoint. I’m afraid I’m not in a position at the moment to give advice on that particular point, but I trust Zach knows what he’s doing. He says he thinks he made some notes when he was out there with regard to measurements. When I spoke to him he was travelling and thought he’d be able to check at the office later tonight.
