AS PART OF YOUR CONVERSATION WITH RAMPINO DID YOU LEAVE IT THAT RAMPINO WOULD BE MANAGING THE OPERATION OF THE NEW BARGE? OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT JOHN AND BOSCOE WOULD HANDLE WITH SUPPORT FROM LSJ BOAT CAPTAINS WHEN AND IF NECESSARY. RAMPINO STILL SEEMS TO BE OPERATING UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT HE IS GOING TO MANAGE THE NEW BARGE. PLEASE ADVISE. I HAVE ASKED JOHN TO TELL ME WHAT HE ENVISIONS AS WELL.

John,

Sorry to reply to this email so late, but as this was one that came during a particularly difficult time for us, I missed it.

Working under this assumption that Bertha will work a 40 hr week, we will need to staff the following.

1 - Captain at $1,000/week + costs of 15% = 59,800

1 - Mate/maintence man at $700/week + 15% = 41,860

The captain and mate would rotate between Bertha and Sunbowt so that we would have several different people trained to do either job to cover illness and vacations.

Also this would allow us to cover OT days if and when needed. OT would be at timeand a half.

I would agree to your 10/10 proposal for the crew as compensation for my work.

This would compensate me for other services that I would either coordinate or provide at going rates.

Maintenance gear will need to be acquired and a place to store it.

Shop access would be great for benchwork as needed.

Equipment such as a compressor and vise will be needed.

A good base of tools have already been acquired during the delivery, so toll expense should be minimal dor day-to-day maintenance.

An account should be set up at Island Marine in Red hook for supplies.

Bulk filters and such I usually order from the states by the case.

Fuel will be needed as necessary. We'll have a good idea after the first month of running.

Oil and filters will need changing once every 3 weeks if the boat operates 32-35 hrs a week.

If we are running out of Red Hook, we should be able to do 20 trips a week in 4 days, leaving day 5 for maintenance - maybe half of day 5 with the other 4 being 9 hr days.

This would leave Sunbowt Too continuing with current support needs and plenty of time to pick up additional items required.

Hope this works,

Steve

I got your phone message and am sending this to you and Bill. I have been receiving mail so I am not sure what the problem is:

Here is what I suggest we consider for you.

We guarantee you the same revenue stream for your barge as last year; at one point I heard the number $120,000. If that is the case and a round trip is $570, this is about 200 trips or so

Your company will manage the use of the LSJ barge on the assumption that it will work a 40 hour week

For this service LSJ will pay you a fee and the direct costs of personnel, maintenance and all that is required to keep the barge running

Your fee will be a dollar amount to cover your overhead and profit; the fee would be annual, 1/12^th of which will be paid each month

If the arrangement is not working the deal can call for it to be adjusted at the request of either party.

One thing your should be aware of is that our on site batching option figures up to 20 barge trips a week to supply sufficient materials to the island for concrete production, so we are looking at substantial usage of both barges.

The Bruce White idea might work. Please think about what you might want for a fee and overhead and get back to me about this e mail. Thanks. By the way I take it that your are still in Virginia?

If this idea is not a good one, tell me

Good morning Bill,

I am trying to email John but it seems his address has changed.

I will enclose my returned mail here and add some further.

John,

Of course my numbers are based for all concerned on a 40hour week.

OT would be at 1.5.

I've had another idea to supplement my proposal.

About a year ago there had been some talk about letting Bruce White off the rock

and coming to work with me on at least a part time basis.

May I re suggest this idea.

It may keep Bertha's expenses down if she's not needed full-time, Bruce offers most of the skills needed in her operation. He and I have a wonderful work relationship

I think NY would go for it as it would provide an in-house leash on my rambunctiousness.

What do you think?

Since you know more about this than I, and you probably already have the papers, would you do this please?

Thanks!
