Hi Dan,

Thank you very much for your help! To clarify, wo uld the cost per square foot be the sum of two costs below, i.e., $8+$1.20? Or does the

installation cost already include the $1.20? Also, could you briefly summarize the installation process? Does liner installat ion happen once the

tanks are already insta lled?

Thanks again for all of your help. Have a great Independence Day weekend!

Greeting Kavya!

The total installed cost for the liner for the interior of the tanks and vessels would range from $8.00

- $10.00 a square foot. This is a total

installed cost including the coating. The material will vary depending on the system we decide to use. I believe our Series 61 Tneme

- Liner is the

system we will use and it cost $1.20 per sq.ft.

Please let me know how I can be of any help!

Hi Dan,

I hadn't heard back from you or Vaughn so I wanted to check in. Do you think you can still provide us cost information on coa ti ngs this week?

We're now most interested in the coating cost for tanks, particularly on a cost per gallon or square foot basis, if that help s narrow our request at

all. We're on a tight deadline and it would help us greatly to get any basic budgetary infor mation as soon as possible.

Thanks and have a great Independence Day weekend,
