    How long should I wait for information from a colleague?

    For this case it took 1 inital phone call, week wait, e-mail, 2 day wait. Not too bad, for awhile didn't think I would get anything.

    How long should I wait for information from a colleague?

    Love the responses. In most cases I do pretty much what's been suggested such as, giving a brief background, seeing if they have the comptency and time and then request a reply by a certain date. When they don't reply back by that date, it's fair game to start hassling them as often as...

    Question: How long do you wait for someone in the office to get back to you with a helpful piece of information. I'm in O&M and recenlty ask someone in Engineering Construction (E&C) for their latest numbers on site construction costs including excavation, backfill, compaction and concrete. It...

    Reservoir Cost Estimates

    Thanks for the responses, useful information, but what I was hoping for was more of a cost per gallon or million gallons. I'm looking to generate some replacement cost estimates for PSAB / asset managment purposes.

    Reservoir Cost Estimates

    Does anyone have any good estimating tools for concrete water reservoirs? I've been told by our structural group that they pretty much use rsmeans, but all I'm looking for is something that's quick and dirty but with some sound asumptions.

    Estimating Pump Costs Using a Curve

    The purpose of the cost curve was to avoid calling up manufactures for pricing every second day. We have a couple of co-op students verifying asset data for our asset management plan and also determining replacement costs for certain equipment types of which pumps is one of them. There are...

    Estimating Pump Costs Using a Curve

    To Clarify I'm not worried about life cycle costs as this is an excercise to determine replacement costs for existing equipment Thanks for the imput BigInch, I'm satisfied using HP as the parameter.

    Estimating Pump Costs Using a Curve

    I'm looking for some guidance on how best to estimate pump capital costs using a cost curve. We have some numbers already, but my questions is it better to use price vs capacity or price vs hp and the justification. Already we've found that price vs hp is probably more accurate but would like...
