Eric, It sounds like Robyn does not like the grate with the holes, not necessarily that it is galvanized as opposed to stainless. I know ACO makes a slatted drain that is ADA compliant and is galvanized. If fact, we used one on the bridge if you recall. Thanks, Clay Barnett, P.E.

Little; Bruce Dunne; Clay Barnett; Tom Lamberth Cc: Nick Jacob Subject: RE: Trench Drain We are not opposed to the galvanized finish, however we do not like the perforated grate style. Also, the perforated grate style has a significantly smaller intake area than the bar or slot style that we previously specified. ________________________________ From: Eric T.

He also stated that he isn’t carrying any fluff in this so he would not be able to reduce down to wash the cost to keep the stainless. That being said, I personally would rather have a galvanized grate and save the $9k to help off-set some of these other overages. Everything thing up there will be galvanized already and I really don’t think anyone will really notice one way or the other.

Little; Clay Barnett; Robyn Jacobson Subject: RE: Trench Drain Eric – the change order pricing that I needed from NTC included three line items: 1. Klassic Trench Drain w/ Grate 2. Klassic In-Line Catch Basin 3. Connect Catch Basin to Storm Drain The pricing we got back from Zach appears to be a lump sum price. Please confirm that his pricing is all inclusive for these three items. The deductions for the previous grotto drainage design totals $40,356. NTC’s price for the stainless steel substitution is $41,918, an increase of $1,562 (assuming his price is all inclusive). A $9,000 decrease by going with galvanized steel doesn’t seem to be worth the large appearance difference between the stainless and the galvanized. Might be worth asking Zach if he can decrease his price for stainless by $1,562 and then the whole system would be a wash. From: Eric T.

Please note that the attached type represents a 9K savings from the previously submitted price. Please review and let me know if acceptable and I will revise the price and formally re-submit.
