<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The contract with the University of Regina was for manufacturing a beam profiler with two similar interchangeable parts: a bundle of scintillating plastic fibers and a bundle of quartz fibers. They have delivered
the device with the scintillating fibers. It has been tested and installed. It meets the specs. However, the vendor is not able to manufacture the quartz fiber part due to technical problems. We would like to have the quartz part for future experiments, but
at this moment it is not critical. The cost of the missing part is evaluated as the cost of the material and the cost of polishing (assuming 50% of the cost of polishing of both scintillator and quartz fibers, see the attached cost estimate) = $1500+$5690/2=$4345.
The vendor agreed to this reduction of the full cost (I received an email from Zisis Papandreou - the PI).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">What should I put in the accrual spreadsheet? There are two items in PO. I can put 100% for the first item and 83.15% for the second item, which would reduce the full cost by about $4344.17.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
