I called Westfahl as you suggested, but he never responded. At the end of the day, I think maybe the board approval we were talking about (Moore, Florida and Louisiana) is the only way to send the message. One highlight of interest in Coleman's e-mail is that it takes longer than 7 months to construct a 6 - LM6000 plant. That's pretty amazing given that NEPCO just finished constructing four ENA plants (Gleason, Wheatland, Wilton and Doyle) in less than 6 months. Anything you can do (or any advice) would be appreciated. Right now I'm simply ignoring the negativism and proceeding as quickly as possible.

You indicated that you had an idea that the plant could be built in the field in 120 days, or approximately 4 months. This is not at all realistic. I would expect that the most aggressive schedule for a greenfield installation of simple cycle gas fired LM 6000's would run approximately 90 days for the first unit, plus about two weeks for each additional unit. This would result in an installation duration of aproximately 5.5 months for a 6 unit gas fired plant. In front of that there would have to be site preparation and initial foundation work done. The Florida and Louisiana projects can be expected to have significant piling requirements which will add probably a minimum of 30 days to the front of this schedule, and the dual fuel consideration may lengthen the incremental installation time per unit somewhat. Considering these factors, it would not be unreasonable to expect field duration to be 7 months or longer. I know that this is much longer than what you have had in mind. But I think that this is real world. For a 1 June start of operations, this would mean getting site access by 1 November, which is only 4 months from now. You stated that the permitting requirements may be as much as 6 months for Florida. If this is correct then there is a serious disconnect for your schedule. We need to make all efforts to expedite the on site date if June 01 commercial operations is to be achieved. Let's talk. Mike
