[Dsg-mvt] Mixing system

Tue Sep 12 11:25:55 EDT 2017

Hi George, Hi Bob, Hi Matt,

1) Can you give an estimate of how much time it takes to do the Pressure 
system requirements?

2) Do we have all components in the house? If not, do we have to include 
a 6-week delivery time for the components? How much would it cost?

3) Bob, can you send me the latest schedule you have for the 
installation of MVT in the Hall? If the mixing system cannot be ready 
for October 15th, can you give me a date on which you are absolutely 
sure it will be ready to be used? November 1st?

I apologize for the many questions. But I want to be sure it is worth 
spending time and money on this premix system.

Thank you for you replies,
Have a good day,

Maxime
